Ok, I'm gonna be honest here... I haven't read in like a week or something. Why? Well, it's not that my book is all that boring or too confusing to read, it's just... it kind of blows up in your face and then run away really fast. I'm not even joking.
For example, in one part of the book (I'm not leaving a quote because it's very inappropriate), you find out A LOT of stuff about Winston and his past. You find out some of the sketchy and nasty things that he's done. You read it and go, "WOW! I never would've expected that!" Now, normally, you expect the book to reveal more shocking and juicy secrets in the next few pages. But no. Not in this book.
Instead, we switch to a completely different, basically repetitive topic. As I'm reading, I'm thinking to myself, "...Ok... Soooo you just threw that bombshell at me, and now we're back to this? Really? You're not gonna elaborate on that at all?" The more frustrating thing though is that I don't event think anymore secrets are going to be revealed for a loooong time, which sucks as the reader.
I don't know, maybe I'm just impatient. I probably am, but hey, if something interesting doesn't happen for a while in a book, that's what happens. I just kind of check out. This book seems like it has a lot of secrets to tell, but it seems it'll be forever before any of them come to light. To be honest, I don't want to read another 50 pages of just plain old text before more good interesting stuff happens.
