2.0

This book is not for me. I get why other people might like it but I just didn’t like it. how it was written and how awful the main characters perspective was really ruined it for me.

The main thing that bothered me while reading this was that the main character explains what just happened a lot instead of us seeing it.

Also I hated the main character after he said “ there are a few expressions in the English language that are less attractive to a woman and than rare book dealer” on page 4. From this moment forward all I wanted was for this guy to shut up.

Also I had to read this for an English class and analyze it and I probably would’ve liked it a lot more if I didn’t have to do that.
