[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not usually dabbling in so many books but here goes. Some of these I reported in Feb and still haven’t finished.

Frankenstein - hard copy that I think my husband brought into our house that he owned before we got married. It’s ok - I’m trying to force myself to read a classic.

Spare - audiobook - got on a free Amazon trial for Audible (which I did not continue after the 3 free credits) - I think it’s kind of boring.

North by Scott Jurek - kindle ebook- I run and a friend recommended it to me about 2.5 years ago. My library didn’t carry it on Libby and I bought it with Amazon digital rewards credits a couple of years ago and finally getting around to reading it. I like it so far. [/quote]

I expected “Spare” to be a great book. 📚

It was all hype in my opinion though.

While Harry is very intelligent + articulate, I found his book to be extremely boring and quit reading it after the first 3-4 chapters.

I have been getting into Suspense/Thriller novels this month.

I read “The Housemaid” by Frieda McFadden & am now addicted to all of her books.

I read “The Coworker,” “The Inmate,” etc. and am anxiously awaiting more!
I love good suspense books that I actually skip eating, showers, etc. for!!![/quote]

You must realize Spare was ghost written? That Harry is neither remotely intelligent nor articulate, quite the opposite, he left school at 16 a total academic and oral failure. [/quote]

While the book may have been ghost written Harry attended Eton until age 18 and then went on to Sandhurst Military Academy.  He did struggle somewhat through Eton which comes as no surprise after having dealt with the horrible death of his mother at age 12.  He may not be a stellar academic but he is both intelligent and articulate as evidenced by interviews you could listen to if you were so inclined.  You don't sound too bright, though, making things up about Harry for no reason whatsoever.[/quote]
