Honestly, I tried to get into this a couple of times and couldn't.  I will try again, so I don't want to trash it, it just didn't grab me.

Finding this hard to get into. Saying that have had a few interruptions with Christmas and such. Hopefully I can get more involved with the book later.

I tried really hard to get into this, but it never quite grabbed me. The writing was fine, but I couldn't ever quite sympathize or relate to the main character in any way. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to root her on or not. I couldn't finish this.

Maybe it's just not my kind of story, I hope better for others.

I think a good book draws you in, and unfortunately I just couldn't get into this series. I was unable to connect with the characters and found my attention wandering. The writing itself wasn't bad, but personally it just wasn't my thing

It escapes me as to why this won the Mann Booker Award. I guess I am not sufficiently sophisticated. tried several times to get into it and finally gave up.

I could not get into this story. It just seemed to out there. But I did try really hard. Was hoping it would change my mind. It didn't

I had such high hopes for this book when I first came across it. Then I didn't read it for over a year after getting it for review. Once I started it, I just could not get into it. The first three sections were supposed to be an introduction. It was so drawn out and scatterbrained I just could not connect with anyone.

The voice of this story is definitely a unique one. I'm not sure if there is more than one POV, but the one that starts the story off is definitely different. For me, it was a bit TOO all over the place for me to really follow. The focus at the beginning is about this reality show, but it doesn't really seem fleshed out or really part of the story. Of course, I didn't finish the novel so that could have changed by the end.

I think what I was expecting was something more than whiny-ness. I wanted something a bit deeper, but that's not really what I got. I'm not sure. There was just something about this that did not really connect with me. I may try again in the future, but I wouldn't count on it.

This was a no go for me. I really tried to get through it, but it was way too many things going on at once & didn't flow very well.

I know I'm not in the majority here, but I really couldn't connect with the characters like I'd hoped to. It just wasn't for me. Not the type of story I usually go for. I really wanted to get into it like so many did but I just couldn't.

I tried and kept trying and I'm pretty sure it would have eventually turned into something but I just couldn't get into it. Sorry but it wasn't for me, and for the record, I was a HP FAN.

I hate to admit this, but I didn't finish it. I lost interest about halfway through. I know, I'm a bad person.
I love contemporary romance, but this one just did not do it for me. I think it may be me more than the book though. I picked this one up because it was on sale even knowing that it didn't sound like something I'd normally one-click in a heartbeat. I've done that before with other genres and had good experiences though and thought this would be another. It wasn't. The writing is well-done, the characters are solid, the dialogue is believable, but I never found myself rooting for them. If you're interested in the subject matter, I'd say you would enjoy it, because it's well-done. I think it just wasn't for me.

I had high expectations but I've had to start it over a couple of times because I put it aside for so long that I needed to refresh myself.  I hope I can make it through.

I couldn't get into this- weird reading Harry Potter in play format. Maybe I should give it another shot.
