Boring, boring, boring!

This DVD was so boring and spent so much time explaining poses that it totally lost any sense of flow and was the most boring yoga tape I've ever worked out to.  It has a ton of options, but the breaks and pauses during explanations were excessive, and I simply could not even complete the entire DVD.  It was just too boring.  To the poor box it will go.  If I gave it to one of my friends to try to see if they like yoga, this would turn them off from a wonderful exercise option forever.

It was so excrutiatingly boring I fell asleep many times while reading this book.  It is FAR from an interesting read!!  Seriously, it is not a book I would reccomend to anyone but insomniacs who want to be able to fall asleep. It's all whining, complaining and I guarantee you that Ellen will annoy the [stuff] out of you by the time you finish the book!!

I really thought this was going to be an in-depth biography. Well, if it was, then Denise is the most boring woman to have walked the planet! While I like the books positive messages (i.e. be real, be yourself, grin and bear it, etc) I agree with other reviews on here that there is no gossip at all, and 99% of the book is boring. This is an example..."la la la I married Charlie...la la awesome. la la I ate a pickle and he knew I was pregnant. la la no more about Charlie or anything but some drivel about painting a nursery..la la here is what my dad thought...la la" and this is how the book goes--BUT it is worse than the above mentioned "la la" filler. Don't believe me? See for yourself. This book is so boring it will put you to sleep. Oh, Denise was picked on as a young girl. She loves her kids. She misses her mom, who passed on from cancer. She is positive and likes Guns and Roses. She's dated men, they cheat, she is sad, but that's all about men or Hollywood because, well, that's all personal. So, at the end of the day, the book is vapid, general, and really could have been written by anyone. I am so dissapointed. I thought she had more to say for herself. I am glad I checked this out of a library because if I bought it I would have been so pissed!

Dull and predictable! Took me a long time to read this because nothing really happened in the whole book! I don't know if I can make myself start the next one.

Boring and drawn out! I made it to chapter ten in agony and couldn't do any more. It's not funny at all! I am still confused on how it got so many good reviews!

I didn't think anything could possibly measure up to "50 Shades...", and not in a good way; but I was wrong. At least this author can write  a declarative sentence - though most of it is trite, repetitive, and just plain boring. The characters are beyond shallow, certainly not fully developed (well, beyond the sex scenes), and the plot is just plain stupid. Fortunately, I downloaded it from the library and didn't waste my money buying the book. Skip this one!

It was extremely boring! I just really couldn't get into Chace or Faye. Faye was super annoying and just blah. Chace was....I'm not even sure but he was more a B-rated character who tried to come off as cool! I don't know. Honestly, "The Gamble", "Sweet Dreams", and "Lady Luck" are the best in this series. After that, it's just really downhill from there. I honestly wouldn't waste my money with this one or the others in this series.

This book should BE forgotten!  What a disappointment!

I love to read novels that take place in other countries, so when I read this novel was about a woman who got stranded in Africa, and this was apparently a big novel--over 400 pages!---I knew I was in for a great read.

Wow, was I wrong!

First of all, it is very boring!  A high school student could have written this.  It does NOT go into hardly any detail about Africa.  It is about as exciting as a roll of toilet paper!  Maybe that is what I should use it for?!!

The type font was quite large, a lot of space between the lines and wide margins.  THIS is why the novel is over 400 pages!  NOT NICE!  A rip-off!

The story is basically a ROMANCE NOVEL hidden under the label 'A Novel'!!  No details about Africa, very boring and dry.  Such a simple read, not difficult or challenging at all--this is why I said a high schooler could have written it.  The woman finally returns home to her NY apt to find it leased out to someone else.  She ends up staying with the new tenant, because she has nowhere else to go and she she eventually has sex with this man (roll eyes!), he feels it was wrong afterwards, they have a fight about it, but in the end, they fall madly in love.  DULL DULL DULL!  This book was horrible~!  This woman returns home to find her ATM card won't work.  Her bank account frozen.  Her car impounded.  Her apt. leased out, all of her stuff gone, the newspapers reported her as dead, long gone, and I really wanted to have a great in depth read about what would happen if this actually happened to someone.  It did NOT go into detail about any of this, other than to say she went to the police dept and they gave her a paper to take to the bank.  (ROLL EYES AGAIN!)  I mean, really---this author clearly has no idea of all of the implications of what this would actually be like, should it happen to someone.  Very dull, dry, boring, predictable, sigh........

There was no depth to it.  No intrigue.  No solid story line.  The conversations in the book were so predictable, it was like a bad sitcom.  I mean, not even funny.  To be honest, I got halfway through it and I got fed up.  I quickly scanned through the rest, just to see HOW it ended, (just like I thought it would!) and I tossed it in THE TRASH!

Now I love to read!  I read a LOT!  Best sellers.  I love big long interesting and in depth novels.  This book was so boring and a complete disappointment.  I can't understand HOW it got so many stars!

If you want to read a GREAT novel, read Varghese's "Cutting for Stone."  Now THAT book was amazing!!  This book, "Forgotten," FORGET IT!  I didn't even want to give it one star, but I had no option.

A complete rip off because of all of those pages of large font, wide spacing and margins!  And here I thought I was going to have an intense intriguing and LONG novel to read, that would take me a week.  Worst. Book. Ever!

I have read books by this author before.  But this book was so BORING.....I literally would get sleepy after a few pages.  I made myself finish reading it because I paid for it.  UGH! this book totally turned me off from this author.

In the past, I've enjoyed Ms. Cast's books. They've been delightful & I read them over & over. This was a complete waste of time. It's slow starting, boring and dull. As much as I love roses & work so hard to keep mine in good health I would draw the line at feeding them my blood. Yuck!!

So boring I stopped on page 22.  The author gets bogged down in the minutiae of every moment of tennis play, and as someone who doesn't play the game, I just couldn't go on.  I knew the main character played tennis, but I didn't need to know about every strike of every ball volleyed in every game.  Boring!

This book is boring. Every chapter is about a different character and keeping them all straight is daunting. There is no clear ending for some of the character's but you don't really care about them anyway so it shouldn't matter. ( What the hell happened to Nickie's sister Jeanie? Did she say and I was too bored that I missed it? )  This was just not a page turner, I had to force myself through most of it hoping it would improve.

I've read and enjoyed all of the books in this series, but this one is just boring!  There are too many random characters and inconsistent favorites.  Diane, it's time to move on; this series is TOAST!  We need to see something new; move out of the mountains and come back to earth!

Like one of the other reviewers I got half way through this boring book and said no way do I care what happens to these characters or how the story ends. I cannot believe this book is popular. A rich mother who seems to care very little for her son, a do-gooder social worker who is endlessly telling us how selfless she is, an old cop for a lover and a husband who would not have to leave me, I would kick him out. And to think I actually waited four weeks to get this book from my library!  Thank goodness I didn't buy it! Do not waste your time. This is not a book about family, it's a book of how not to behave.

I am a great fan of the previous installments of the Laundry Files series, but this newest volume is simply excruciatingly boring.  The author discards the protagonist of the previous volumes.  The story now revolves around Mo, his wife, and her work in setting up a new government bureaucracy.  And yes, it is precisely as tedious as it sounds.  I almost died from ennui trying to finish this book.  The worst parts stray (purposely?) into 50-Shades-like purple prose, along the lines of: "... is magnificent and he needs a glamorous catwalk companion, and I want to be the sort of glittering woman who belongs on his arm... Look at me!  Suddenly I feel very wicked. 'I want you to take me home... but you choose the route, fast or slow.'"  Seriously?  I rest my case.

Again- Sooooooooo boring. For such a famous family ( Middleton) Ms Eastman again chose the stories of her people that probably put her to sleep 80 years ago when she was a girl. Never mind Ambien, I've got this schlock to put me into slumberland.........ps I've been forced to leave one star for the review, I hope I get it back someday, because this is again- pure crap.

This book is not worth the 60 minutes it takes to read it! Boring is a nice thing to say.
