[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]North Woods by Daniel Mason[/quote] Ditto. Just fantastic.[/quote] I posted above about reading it twice. My bookclub hated it. one of the reasons why was that they none of the characters were likeable. I cannot imagine judging a book based on this. [/quote] I also don't understand the pov that readers can't get into a book if the characters aren't warm & fuzzy and "just like me!". [i]North Woods[/i] was my favorite book of last year and I thinking about a re-read. This year I most liked [i]History of Sound[/i] by Ben Shattuck. Was made into a lovely small film also.[/quote] I don’t need a character to be just like me. But I do need a character to have some compelling quality to spend so much time with them. In actual life, I don’t spend time with people I don’t like either. [/quote]
