It is official Ladies and Gentlemen. I know many of you have thought it but now I can finally admit it is true. I am a Moron.
I read Gift by Ursula Le Guin and I am sorry to say it but I didn't like it. No disrespect to Ursula Le Guin. After all she has written more than 60 books, most of them if not all are bestsellers. Who am I to say I didn't like this book? A nobody! But I will not be finishing this book. Sorry.
The way the book begins and the way the whole story flows and progresses...I just didn't find it stimulating. It felt like a chore reading it. I refused to have paid for another book and not have read it. I finally stopped at page 100.
Why buy it if you or not planing to read it? Honestly, I have never read any of her other works but according to the Internet she is a must read author. I also picked her book because she is said to be the best Fantasy writer alive and because the first page read so easily. And to be honest that should have been a hint because the first page starts telling a story and by the third page I flipped to the front to see if there hadn't been a book written before that one because I was feeling lost already.
I read the reviews for this book online and all of them said that the book was excellent, easy to read and easy to comprehend. So yeah, I am a Moron. I seem to be the only person who read it and not like it.
Signed the Moron.

Hello friends. How are you today? I am so happy and grateful to be co-hosting IWSG today with my awesome co-hosts, Alexia Chamberlynn...
I don't see how this makes you a moron. I've never even heard of her.
ReplyDeleteIf reading what is 'popular' and not liking it makes you a moron, I guess I am one too. I read Twilight (long before it was a big deal) and hated it. I'm still stunned that the series has become so popular.
To each his own.
Thanks Heather. I feel a lot better now. Just goes to show I shouldn't ever listen to hype. Rather stick to what I do like and know. No more trusting other people's reviews. Lesson learned.
