Wow. Talk about being in the minority! This was our book club's most recent selection and the person who chose the book stated she read the book easily in 3 days. I thought how perfect it would be for my 52 book challenge for the year! I put it on my Kindle and settled in, thinking I would be on to Book 12 before I knew it! Was I wrong.... this book took me forever to read. I really struggled with boredom, even though I knew it was a non-fiction book. I was bored with the facts of the story--- I know I know... they are true accounts. This story REALLY happened. I get that. I still wasn't inspired. I also know I am in the huge minority as this book has received incredible accolades from reviewers and plenty of commonfolk alike. I guess I am not one of them.... and I really don't know why!? Just wasn't my cup of tea... or maybe not what I felt like reading just then. The last two books have seriously set back my reading challenge. Yikes!
Did I Like it? It was *OK* for me... at best. Would I recommend it? I may have to say yes, just because everyone else seems to like it so much! Rating? 2.5 stars. Sorry.
