[Yann Martel - Life of Pi]

Oh no!! I hated this book. Nothing ever happens.

 

The first section is dire. I somehow struggled through it, thinking the second section was starting to get good once he was in the boat, then nothing actually happened for about 200 pages.

 

I was willing for the tiger to jump up and eat him.

[Cormac McCarthy]

I have 'No Country for Old Men' it was kind of irritating to read, a lot of 'ands' for no good reason, although you do eventually get into the style of writing. The film version wins hands down.

 

I agree completely. How many 'ands' can you fit in one sentence?!!
