Melanie Blaauw answers “I am nearly at page 100 and I am really...”

Anne Earley asked this question about Shantaram:

I am nearly at page 100 and I am really not enjoying this book! This is disconcerting as everyone else raves about it! Is it me or is the book? Should I persevere?

Melanie Blaauw Dear Anne,
Seeing as it's about 4 years later, and I feel exactly the same way, I wanted to know if you ever did finish the book, or did you leave it? …moreDear Anne,
Seeing as it's about 4 years later, and I feel exactly the same way, I wanted to know if you ever did finish the book, or did you leave it? A friend gave it to me, and was so impressed with the book, that I keep thinking there must be something wrong with me, that I do not like it. Every page is a struggle to get through, and it's not like I'm a slow reader. But I can't believe I'm only at page 136?? Finding myself skip entire paragraphs. My OCD just wont allow me to stop, hehe.(less)
