The Ludic Reader

A book that disappointed you

Lots of books disappoint me. Sometimes it’s because they don’t live up to the hype (Eat, Pray Love), sometimes it’s because I’ve slogged through them only to arrive at a mediocre ending (The Elegance of a Hedgehog), a book by an writer I can normally count on that I just didn’t like (Rise and Shine) and sometimes I’ve loved the book only to arrive at an ending that just doesn’t do the book justice (Still Missing).

I find myself abandoning books earlier now than I used to. I have too many books on my to-be-read shelf and not enough time.
