The 39 Steps by John Buchan

1.0

Read to ~50% and DNFed. Four deus ex machinas are my limit. Couldn't care about the MC either. Everything always works out to his benefit so there's no stakes or thrills in this 'spy-thriller'. Even the MC himself has no emotional connection to the plot. 1 'more conveniently introduced side-character and Imma snap!' out of 5.
