Put “books that are hard to get through” on my list of pet peeves. Since life is short and there are so many good books out there, rationally I think I should just s****-can a book that isn’t doing it for me, but mostly I can usually bring myself to do that. Normally, I feel like I should slog through.
You want a page turner? Read The Politician by Andrew Young about Silk Pony John Edwards. Riveting read. No likable characters. Even more fun for me as a North Carolinian. Empty suit doesn’t even begin to describe Edwards - guy is/was a complete fraud.
I read excerpts a while back. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll add it to my list! My husband read the introduction and first chapter of Karl Rove’s book and said it was a page turner. After he’s done with it, I’m going to read it.
