Sorry Normal People didn’t work for you. I like those angst ridden character-driven stories, but we’re all different!

I agree with you, Madeline. My 25 year old daughter who read it (and thought it was only a so-so read) said, “you’re not going to like it, Mom” when I told her I had it on hold at the library. Was she ever right!

I was about to quit on p.36. A friend told me she hated it even before that. I went to 50% and finally said ENOUGH. There was nothing about these two that had any relevance to me, anything I could connect to or even feel about them. Two of the most amazingly boring characters ever.

I did something I almost never do and skimmed the last chapter. Nothing, nada, no growth. Extremely tedious and shallow. Worst book I’ve read this year.

Thanks, Renee. Every book can’t be for everyone.

I think I’ve finally gotten over the no quotation marks. It didn’t bother me at all in Normal People. At least she used good paragraph breaks!

Maybe I’ll give it one more try. Great review Susie.

I’m so glad to hear that about Conversations with Friends. I want to read it soon.

If you liked White Fur, you’ll love Normal People!
