I found this book boring as hell. Nothing ever happens. Even Tom Hanks couldn't save it for me.
Same. I’m baffled by the glowing reviews of this book.
It was good, but definitely not great. Not “best book in past 10 years” material unless you don’t read a lot.

It was pure schmaltz. This is why it's helpful for people to list 5-6 books, if they love-love-loved a book that did nothing for me I can skip the rest.

“A brief history of seven killings by marlon James”
Thank you! This was brilliant, imo, and should stand the test of time. Much more so than many books listed here.

This is on my list!
I have been reading this off and on for almost a year. It is excellent but LONG and now I am filled with Grant and Reconstruction facts. There are a lot of parallels between the 1870s-1880s and now.
I'm staring at it next to me not touched. This might inspire me to read it finally.
