1.0

Most boring book I’ve ever read. Every page is just the ramblings of an unlikable man with zero personality. There is a short amount at the end where the story picks up but by then you’ve trudged through pages upon pages of nothing, so you’ll just be wanting it to finish already. I would have dropped this book early on if it wasn’t part of my coursework.
