We spend a lot of time reading books. Some of them, maybe a disproportionate number, we like. Others, not so much.

Disproportionate because, at least for me, it’s difficult to get through 500 pages of something I dislike.

This is one of those occasions where you are encouraged to be constructive in your criticism. Hopefully, with some wit.

Leave a review for a book you didn’t like and tell us what to read instead.

    Klara and the Sun. The reviews hyped it up, and it is by an award winning author, but I found it terribly boring. I like slow moving stuff usually, this just had nothing to it and became a slog to finish.

    Notes online mentioned the author original wrote it as a story to tell his child… Well I guess a kid might like it, it even reads like a kid wrote it.
