Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl
3.0
First read in March 2017:
I should have checked better before I submitted this book to my book Club. I had no idea that it was 500 pages and, although I enjoy young adult fiction from time to time, this one is really "high schoolish". I got about 25% through it and, although I enjoyed the language with which it was written as well as the pop-culture references, I just don't think I'll be able to finish it. It's cleverly written but I just don't care about the characters or what happens to them. Kiss of death.
2nd try:
Giving this one another try because it is the #MMD Book Club September 2018 flight pick
