James Seldner answers “I'm 200+ pages in. There are some great...”

Joan Schleinkofer asked this question about The Nix:

I'm 200+ pages in. There are some great moments, some funny moments ( the college student is the best) but I'm getting bored and wondering if I should throw in the towel. I was always one to finish once started, but at 56 years old have realized life is too short to finish a book I'm not enjoying, my "to read" list is too long for that. Do I trudge forward and hope for the best or quit now and move on? Advice pls?

James Seldner Hope you carried on! On the other hand if you didn't buy into the potential of the novel after the first 50 pages....especially Samuel and Laura story…moreHope you carried on!
