I need motivation!
Apr. 7th, 2010 09:35 amOkay, friends. Did any of your read Sarah Waters' last book The Little Stranger?
Given that I thought Affinity and Fingersmith were pretty great (I never did get around to Tipping The Velvet, did I?) and that I thought Night Watch was more or less a waste of her talent, would you recommend I keep going with Stranger or give up?
I've been struggling to get through it and it has taken me weeks just to get through the first 80 pages. I think if someone says "Yes, it's better than NW. Worth it!" I might be able to move on. I also think if someone says "Nah, it was not worth it" that I will feel okay about putting it down.
I have this horrible tendancy to finish even the worst slop just in case the last paragraph makes it all worth it...which we all know it never does, but I'm so afraid of missing something!
So, help from those who can?
