Couldn't finish the book

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I usually like Dystopian books, but I had a hard time following this one.  It jumped around too much and I just had to stop reading it halfway through.  I might come back later and try reading it again.

Im sorry I really wanted to like this book but I couldn't read it. I got about 50 pages in and it lost my interest big time!

It was very difficult to get through the book and in the end I could only read 100 pages or so before I finally gave up. The narrator was annoying, pompous even, I understand that this was purposely done by the author but its hard to a read a book when you want just really want to throw it out the window.  The character development was not sufficiently in-depth making the entire narrative incredulous. In addition, the story structure was confusing with different stories mismashed together. Perhaps in the end, it would have all made sense..but I really couldn't bare to go that far.

I couldn't finish this book. The author jumping from first person to third person with no warning made it very confusing.  I want to relax when reading, and find myself in the world created in the book, but this was just too frustrating and jarring.

I read the first 2 books in the set but couldn't finish it. I hate to not finish a book but it was so disappointing. I felt like I wasting my time.

Be it the book or the man narrating it... I cannot make it through! I've tried 3 different times and I just can't finish it. :( This book was highly recommended to me so maybe it's just me. ?? I was just incredibly bored and couldn't focus on it.

I tried hard to get to like this book but it just goes no where. I'm 1/3 through the book and I'm bored out of my mind. There was just way too much boring details that do not seem interesting or compelling at all. I'm usually pretty patient but this is just hard to swallow after a while.

I couldn't finish this book, I couldn't get past the poor writing.
Too bad because it was a good idea. I think the author needs more practice honing his craft.  I had just finished reading Justin Cronin's City of Mirrors and this book just couldn't hold up to that level of comparison.

Too many characters, hard to keep my interest. Couldn't get into it and never finished the book after getting halfway through

Did not finish the book, just couldn't find a reason to. Should have made the characters more likeable to the reader.

Struggled to finish! One of the worst books I've read.

I really,  really tried to finish this book, because of all the great reviews... but I couldn't get past 40% of it, and that was me being persistent (1 whole week), because I don't like to give up on a books, normally I plow through them anyway.
 I'm not sure we read the same book???? I definitely don't agree with the reviews that gave it 4 or 5 stars.
This book was so boooooooring!!! It dragged, and it was lame. I kept falling asleep, when I should be ready.
 Sorry, but this is my negative review!!!
Thank goodness it was a free download.

I couldn't continue reading this book.  I couldn't connect with the characters and the plot was all over the place.  Can't recommend this book.

This book was recommended to me by a friend who lent me her copy.  I'm so glad it was a "free read."  I couldn't finish it.  Those italicized "thoughts" were just too distracting.  Not to mention kind of hokey.  The more I read, the more annoying they became so I finally put it down.  I did like the story, characters, plot, etc.  Her writing style is just not my cup of tea.

I just could not finish it.  The plot was not fleshed out.  The development of the motivation of the characters was lacking.  The conflict between the main characters was lacking and seemed a little trite.  There was an attempt at trying to make a cliff-hanger type of plot but at 70% of the book, I was tired of trying to make a mental stretch of the plot and I had to give up.  I told myself at about a third of the way through that I would not try to read any more.  Then out of boredom and not being able to fall asleep, I tried to read get into it and that proved hopeless.  This book could be good if it had a complete re-write.  This is the first book that I have purchased by this author and will probably be the last.

I really tried to like this book but when in chapter 2 they are already doing it and there are statements like "I wept at the sight of his chest" I could not finish. I can see it is setting up for action of some kind but I didn't want to wait for it longer. The main character made no sense- she can't sleep next to this guy but yet she can have sex with him. She says maybe five things to him and has never met him before but she is already commenting on his personality traits like she really knows him. Now I understand there are books where this can be pulled off but this book isn't one of them.
