Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
2.0
DNF at 65%
I can't do it anymore. I tried and I tried but when at 60% and you don't care and not enjoying a book, it's not worth it. I still have around 9 hours left (out of 24) and I'm not going to waste more time over a book I don't like.
I rarely DNF books but it's a chore listening to this audiobook. The blurb says that the main character is betrayed by his brother. NO BETRAYAL YET. We had 6 hours of a story about people before he was born. Who writes these blurbs?? It’s as bad as the movie trailers that spoil everything. BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING so far so what can they summarize? Not much at all.
Not recommended. I’m not sure if I should even keep the 2 stars rating. I mean the premise is very interesting and I want to read books about characters living in different parts of the world but on the other hand, I can’t stand boring plots and characters I don’t care about.
I once asked for audiobook recs and someone recommended this book from IG, well, I don’t trust bookstagram’s recommendations much to begin with but this is the first real bad xp.
Also, can someone tell male narrators not to imitate women's voices in audios? Thanks.
I honestly don't regret not finishing this book. If anything I should DNF books more often but I always hope it gets better. It rarely does.
