Anybody read A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks?

[JannerBird]

I am at the point of giving up on this book (which I hate to do) and wanted to ask if anybody here has read it?

I am on page 182 and I really don't feel that anything has happened, at all. Is it worth perservering with, does anything actually happen?

I read the whole book but it was utter crap and I wish I had ust read something else instead.

I gave up with this (which I rarely do with books) but I decided I didn't want to waste any more time on it.

I felt a bit embarassed like I didn't get it, so thank you everyone for making me feel better

I've read about 80 pages and was wondering if it would be worth the effort of persevering. I guess not from what most of you say.

bought it the other day.not out bag yet

lol,still in bag with receipt is it that bad?

I skipped the banking stuff - felt like he was trying to teach us how it all works and having waded through a few of the pages about it, I started to scan the rest and ended up quite enjoying the book (looks like I'm in a minority here!). I have to say that I thought the way he was able to flick between characters without ever losing me was done really well..... it was a bit of fluff; not particularly enlightening, but other than the finance lecturing, actually quite enjoyable! I read the Finkler Question afterwards which starts with only three main characters and I got confused by page 6 about which character was doing what..... now THAT'S bad writing! Oh, and sorry, but I also liked Birdsong AND Engleby :0
