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

[Sidge]

Up to page 175 and finding it rather dull.

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

I gave up and slated it to friends that had read it...then read the rest only to find that it is one of the most beautiful books i HAVE EVER READ AND CANT FIND A DECENT BOOK TO COMPARE IT TO. OOPS CAPS...sorry

I gave up well before page 175

stick with it, yuo'll be glad you did follow through with it

stick with it !!!!

I only finished as was in book club and even though do not like not finishing books would have stopped this much earlier ...hated it....absolute rubbish...I was extreme at the club, but no one loved it though......

Give up, it's rubbish.

I really enjoyed it but hated Labyrinth which other people just raved about. Tis a funny thing personal taste.

Give it up. If it was a dvd that you were bored with watching you'd go and do something else wouldn't you?

I thought it was utter rubbish. Speaking [deep voice] as a man I found the male characters totally unbelievable, and the whole idea quite unpleasant.

I loved it - what have you to lose to finish it?

Well, I gave up and took it back to the library so some other poor soul can be bored to sleep by it

Now I have a new book to read!

I gave it up, but didn't get nearly as far as you. Used to think it was bad karma not to finish books. Now think life's too short not to give up when it's not happening for you - plenty of books out there that will be. p175 though - that's quite an investment. How about skimming the rest unless you fix on a good bit?

i ahted it
whata pile of shit

pants lots of other ppl think so too thats why there are so many copies clogging up the charity shops bookshelves
