1.0

Mary Higgins Clark used to be one of my favorite authors. This book either is uncharacteristically bad for her or my tastes have really changed. I didn't like a single character in the book. And it was beyond boring. Almost dnf'd but kept listening for some reason.

The Once and Future King by T.H. White

Did not finish book. Stopped at 89%.
I LOVE The Once and Future King as I read it in high school, without Book of Merlyn. This audiobook version does contain the book of Merlyn and since I hadn't ever read it before I decided to give it a listen. I got a few chapters in when I decided I wasn't enjoying it at all and I much preferred ending the story with Candle in the Wind.
