jacobfmn Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Same for me as well. But I wonder why some people hate the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 I didn't hate it, but I just didn't take much from it. I didn't read it until I was 30 so maybe the themes were a bit lost on me. Maybe I need to go back in time and read it when I was 17.

scottyboy Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 I read it in a day when I was 16, I'm pretty sure. Like Lemonade, I thought it as all right, but didn't get much from it. I do vaguely remember picking it up years later and getting lost in the prose (same with American Psycho and probably a few more) for several pages before remember I had something to do and tearing myself away, bu that's about it.
