A Separate Peace
by John Knowles
I really wanted to love this book, or at the very least like it. It's been on my bucket list forever as a classic I wanted to, needed to read.
I was simply bored to tears. I could not find enough to make me care about the characters or their lives. Perhaps they just didn't come to life for me, I don't know. I was more than halfway through the book before I gave it up. And I hate giving up on books!
Before giving it up, I began flipping through 5-10 pages at a time to stop and read and hopefully find something that would make me want to keep going, something that said, "Keep reading - this is what you're waiting for!"
Sadly, I never found it.
Just one of five shots.
