[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- Into Thin Air
- The Shack
- In the Woods (though I did feel seen by a recent thread about this book)
- We Need to Talk About Kevin
- The Dinner 
- Defending Jacob
- Wild by Cheryl Strayed
- The Silent Patient (OMG so boring for 95% of the book)[/quote]

See now I liked Silent Patient. Interesting.  [/quote]

NP. I liked Silent Patient, but I liked it because I was interested in the psychology of it. If I hadn't liked that I am certain I would have put it down without finishing. And then the end was a great, not because of a twist--though there was one--but that as you were reading you thought you were reading something different than you were. Basically it wasn't an unreliable narrator as much as an unreliable author who tricked the reader. I loved that aspect of it.[/quote]

I liked the Silent Patient as an easy thriller but hated The Maidens from him. [/quote]
I liked The Silent Patient also and agree that The Maidens was awful; could not finish.
I also could not finish We Need To Talk About Kevin - ugh, talk about a book where every single character is unlikable and awful. 
I also posted on the Feb book thread that The Invisible Life of Addie Larue was not good.[/quote]
