I Sailed with Magellan by Stuart Dybek

1.0

Read this one for class, it's so hard for me to rate anything lower than 2 stars but I genuinely disliked this one. The stories didn't connect, I couldn't see a point, and the only reason I got through it was because it was mandatory. The stories were so slow, too many unnecessary words and it took forever for it to make it's point. The chapters were too long and that only works if you REALLY want more of that story, which I don't. I was 75% into this book and by then I should've already been captured by this story and by then the reader should WANT to learn more, but I just really dreaded picking this one up. My favorite chapter is Live From Dreamsville, that chapter was beautiful and I deeply enjoyed it so much; However, I don't think your favorite chapter is supposed to be 2 chapters in because then the rest of the book can't and doesn't live up to that. Overall, I didn't really enjoy this one.
