⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5
Each book I read and review stars off with the full five stars but I'm never afraid to remove them and always give my reason(s) within the review. The usual reason for me heartbreakingly removing a star from an otherwise five star book is because of copyright or trademark infringement. There is a magic little sentence that has appeared in two books so far where the lost star is replaced thanks to a magic little sentence either at the start or end of the book and I'd love to see that happen each time I feel I have to remove a star.
At the time of starting to read this book, 11 readers have rated it an average of 4.8 stars so I'm trying to remain hopeful that this'll be a great book, deserving of the full load.
Let's get reading and reviewing shall we?
Apparently, at my reading speed, this book will be finished in 4 hours and 6 minutes, so it could potentially be a late night tonight if I can't stop reading or an early start tomorrow morning.
The first chapter was a bit boring, so I hope that doesn't set the tone for the rest of the book 'cos I've already skipped ahead. If chapter 2 is no better then the first star is coming off through boredom... I hope this won't be my second DNF in 2 days!
Oh boy. I didn't even finish reading the first page of chapter two before I skipped to the end of the chapter from the absolute boring dullness of it. The first star is coming off at page 36 unfortunately.
I hope the third chapter is more interesting but I've already skipped most of the first two chapters, so it's not looking good unfortunately.
Chapter three is about sport which is an incredibly boring subject for me, so I'm skipping ahead for the third time in as many chapters.
Chapter four seems to be about running, which is sport, so I'm officially giving up and declaring this my second DNF in as many days unfortunately. I'm sure that, for the right audience, this would be a good book, I'm just not enjoying it at all unfortunately.
Maybe that's why this book got such a high rating? The previous eleven readers quickly gave up reading it too but didn't want to disappoint the author if it got better in later chapters?
It's a 4 star book that I DNF.
