The button "I'm finished" should be renamed "I'm done" *le sigh*
It's never a good sign when I choose watching TV over reading a book. And in the last couple of days I watched a lof of TV...

This book bored me out of my brains. There was close to no plot to speak of, and the little plot I found focused on the wrong parts. In a book about a MC with metal illness/OCD I want to read about said mental illness/OCD. I'm not interested in endless droning about Hamlet and who's right for the role of Ophelia and who's not. I'm not interested in countless rehearsals for a play. Also, all this overdone artsy-fartsy stuff was annoying like hell.
To make matters worse the smidgen of mental illness stuff I got felt kind of unreal and, well, silly. Instead of feeling with the MC I just wanted to roll my eyes at her (like I wanted to do at all the protagonists e__e).

From the very first page I knew I wouldn't like this book, but I didn't want to throw in the sponge this early. Unfortunately, with every page I read I got more and more annoyed. I just couldn't stand it any longer.

So this is another DNF for me, the second in a row, and it makes me kind of sad. I don't like giving up, but... whatever.

Ja :/ Zum Glück waren es Galleys, da brauche ich mich wenigstens nicht über rausgeschmissenes Geld ärgern.
