[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life After Life by Kate Atkinson

The main character dies at birth but then lives the “next” time she’s born and then she keeps dying and then coming back to life again. Or something like that.

I’m getting that she kills Hitler, which has either some or no effect on WWII.

I’m 11% in and I’m bored. I couldn’t care less about any of the characters, even the main one (who is still just a kid at this point). I had a recollection of people loving this book but then it only has a 3.79 on Goodreads (I generally won’t read below a 4.0) and now I’m thinking of giving it up. There are just too many good books out there and I keep not wanting to pick up my Kindle, which isn’t how I am with books I love.

Thoughts? Should I give up or keep going?[/quote]

I loved it and when I finished it, I flipped back to the front and read the whole thing again. Only 11% in, I'd say keep going and see if it clicks for you. But I find Goodreads isn't always an accurate gauge of what i think is good, so ymmv.[/quote]
