[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there an analogous book that is considered a great book but that most people actively dislike? I can’t think of any. [/quote]

All great books have lots of haters—look up any classics on Goodreads. For what it’s worth, my book club loved the Ferrente books and we went on to read her others. But it is a pretty ambitious group of readers. It’s not the most accessible book club fare.[/quote]

I am an ambitious reader, and hate most book club fare (the nightingale?! No.) but really did not like my brilliant friend. For me, it dragged [/quote]

Did you try the subsequent books? They are worth it and move faster.[/quote]

I haven't tried the series at all. Is it possible to just skip to the second book? So many people agree that it's better than the first.[/quote]

No, the first book really sets the stage. The first book has a slow start, and the first time I tried to read it I gave up around page 50, only to pick it up years later, persevere and loved it and the rest of the series. [/quote]
