I tried, but I couldn't finish it

Revisado: 01-31-21

I really tried to like it, but I had to stop because it is awful. Didn't finish it.
The story is nothing new. Charles is not Robinson Crusoe - he doesn't like his job or life. So what? Lots of people don't. There was absolutely nothing interesting about Charles at all.
The financial jargon is over simplified. Description of various transactions remedial. And references to things like 'Mining Co' ad "Oil Co' are ridiculous - just give the company a name. The books is fiction - there are no secrets to hide!!
The book is 'hyped' as being from a 'true insider". I'm an 'insider' and besides referencing things like cashflow and balance sheets, it gave no insight at all. Charles could have been a teacher and references made to white boards and lockers, and the story could have been the same. Same, but still boring.
Sorry. I really did try.

It didn’t go anywhere

Revisado: 07-08-20

I really don’t know why it got the good reviews - I completely missed it. I found the story simple and the characters fairly basic. I keep waiting for something to happen, develop, or engage, but it just didn’t happen for me. I persisted and finished, but unfortunately not a book I would recommend. I wish I felt what others did, but no such luck.

awful from beginning to end

Revisado: 03-08-20

Pathetic characters. Basic story. Something you might expect from a 14 year old. Awful. Boring.

I tried, but couldn't get there

Revisado: 07-12-19

I really tried to like it, but it just didn't happen. I gave up after 12 hours. I really didn't find it that interesting. It just couldn't 'hook me'. I found I kept day dreaming and had to keep going back. Unless you are really interested in the characters - and there are A LOT, think twice before you get this one. Sorry, but I really did try.

Underwhelming.

Revisado: 04-18-19

It was ok. It filled in the time, but I had to force myself to keep going. Nothing really suspenseful. Quite predictable. Music between sections was a bit ridiculous. If there is nothing else, sure, but I would look further next time.

Miserable and depressing

Revisado: 01-13-19

If you don't like your life and are looking for a sympathiser, this book is for you. Ellen doesn't like her life and just complains, complains, complains. She never really turns the corner and realises that she has what so many others want. Ellen could have an amazing life if she chose to make the most of what she has. She is just miserable. If anything, it made me appreciate the glass half full and being thankful for the things I have. It wasn't really funny. No real laugh out loud moments. This is just a diary of someone who doesn't like their life, doesn't appreciate the little things, doesn't really do a lot to change things, and expects it all to come to her without any effort. Don't bother.

awful awful awful

Revisado: 01-13-19

I should have given up after the first chapter, but I persisted. Not worth it. Jo is awful. Bec is awful. The whole book is awful. Huge potential, but never got there.

It is awful

Revisado: 03-16-18

Any additional comments?

It is predictable. It is boring. It never seems to end. It goes on and on and on and on. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen - it didn't. Don't waste your time. I like Nora Roberts, but this was terrible.

Loved it loved loved it

Revisado: 07-24-17

I was in from the first few sentences. I couldn't put it down. I kept thinking I knew how the story would play out, but I kept being wrong. I highly recommend it, but not for a week long holiday - I finished it in 2 days!!
