Schindler's List: also released as Schindler's Ark by Thomas Keneally
dark
slow-paced
1.0
I so deeply wanted to enjoy this book as I’ve been wanting to read it for at least a decade, but I didn’t. I knew going into it that it was going to be depressing and difficult, so the subject matter wasn’t the issue. It came down to the writing, it read like a dense non-fiction book, while it was a work of fiction. I understand why the author did it this way, but it was still difficult to get through for me

The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King
slow-paced
1.0
Stephen King writes for the dude bros who thinks they’re cool but are actually creeps. Even with his “young adult” fantasy. This was my second chance with King and it’s solidified my decision to not read any more of his books. This book was not good at all.
