We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves - anyone NOT really into it?

[AnnDaloozier]

I am 25% in.
its DULL.

[AnnDaloozier]

I have got to the twist
And that makes it look even more dull

[Charlieboo30]

Yes - absolutely hated it and didn't make it as far as you!

[AnnDaloozier]

oh god. How come everyone likes it. The girl is so annoying and just nothing is happening

[SpringItOn]

I'm 30% in and I feel the same. Don't know whether to persevere or not?

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

It's very meh. The cover kind of gives away the twist.
Recommendations for anything good to load the kindle up with?

[NellVarnish]

Not long finished it. Didn't live up to all the hype around it imo. Disappointed.

Also just finished The Shock of the Fall which was a bit
Meh too.

Need something unputdownable.

[AnnDaloozier]

Ive given up.

IME books up for awards are rarely good.
Apart from the Undertaking. Which I read in a day

[AnnDaloozier]

Shock of the fall also crap. Like reading a very boring depressed teenagers diary.

Try instead a book that it pipped for that award "marriage material" it's funny and shocking

[AnnDaloozier]

Also her by Harriet lame. Great.
If you want intellectual read the Elizabeth Gilbert book. Signature of summat. Is ace

[NellVarnish]

Glad it's not just me Ann, dull dull dull.

I've got Marriage Material on my wish list and last good book I read was Alys, Always so looking forward to reading Her next.

Some books are just shite.

[Batmansbuttocks]

I'm 50% in and adoring it. Best book I've read in ages. Oooh errr

[PittTheYounger]

I am moving onto a thing about Everest Remus recomended

[BumgrapesofWrath]

I haven't even attempted to read this one, as I've read one of the authors previous (The Jane Austen Book Club), and that was pure tedium!!

[Batmansbuttocks]

Just finished it. 'Twas great and nothing like that Jane Austin book club twaddle, can't believe it's the same author.

[BumgrapesofWrath]

That's interesting Batman!

[RainbowB7]

Just finished Beside Ourselves. I was a bit disappointed with it after I had seen people raving about it.

I guessed the twist in advance and just wasn't massively interested in that as a storyline tbh.

I was glad to be finished with it and wouldn't recommend but i did get through it and didn't completely hate it. It's no more than a 3/5.

[RainbowB7]

And didn't know this was by the author of Jane Austen book club! Haven't read that though

[DameEdnasBridesmaid]

I stopped reading at the twist. Didn't like Rosemary very much but was intrigued, however I stopped reading when the twist was revealed (which I didn't know otherwise I would most definitely not have even started the book).

[Morgan]

Finding it quite dull tbh and can't wait to finish it and move on ( am compelled to finish books I start )

[Newrowsees]

Shocked, I've just finished it and really enjoyed it! However I have now moved on to the most dire piece of chick lit ever, I'm embarrassed to even mention the title! I find it hard to abandon books halfway through though, so I shall have to persevere

[Southeastdweller]

A third of the way in and quite bored. Don't get the fuss about this at all though it may get better.

[Southeastdweller]

Finished it. And I thought Love Nina was dull before I read this.
