Getting bored with Time Travellers Wife - do I persevere or give up?

Up to page 175 and finding it rather dull.

Shall I cut my losses now, or does it get better??

Give up. It's a heap of objectionable sh*te.

IMO obviously.

TheMaskedPoster · 31/08/2007 20:35

ditto Califrau ... wasn't overly impressed

Give up.

I'd persevere too. Found the beginning trying, but was intrigued about the basic concept. Once I had that I was sucked in, cried buckets and finished happy.

Give up, it's pants.

I really liked it but quite a few people on here slated it. I'd say persevere though.

i gave up, i will never get those precious hours back.

try the thursday next series instead!

Keep going, I struggled with the first part kept thinking I would give up but I was on holiday and had nothing else to read. I persevered and loved it, cried buckets though. It really does get better.

I gave up, life's too short.

I can never remember what happens at the end of books but I always know if i'm diappointed or not and I definitely was not disappointed with Time travellers Wife.

I'd say persevere.

Ecmo · 30/08/2007 22:36

Yes definately persevere.. the first bit needs concentration but it then gets much easier to read. I have just finished it and it was really good.

pippo · 30/08/2007 22:33

I can't remember what happens up to pg 175 but I do remember feeling that I needed to persevere at some point, by the end I thought it was fab. Carry on I say.

oh I did too. keep thinking I should give it another go - although don't think I got that far
