chelseah08 's review for:
Dead Souls
by Nikolai Gogol
Growing up, I always read WELL above my expected reading level. I devour books. I can get through anything. Except this one.
I have never in my life not been able to finish a book until I encountered Dead Souls. I love Russian literature and I heard wonderful things about this book, but honestly, I have tried to get through it three times now and have been so beyond bored to death, it's like I could actually feel MY soul dying (ha, ha). I'm so sorry to everyone who has loved this book for insulting it, but honestly, props to anyone who could possibly get through this snooze fest.
Maybe I'll try reading it again in a few years. This book is my Everest.
