Well, I tried, though admittedly not very hard, to like this book, but my reading stamina seems to be at a low ebb, as I'm deciding within a score of pages whether I can persevere, which in this case I couldn't.
Despite being about a sci-fi-loving reader with whom I might reasonably be expected to find some connection, I'm getting nothing. Time to move on ðŸ˜ðŸ“š

Bookwomble This is the second new-to-me Chilean author who's left me cold. I might have to fall back on Isabel Allende. 12mo
BarbaraBB Ah That‘s a pity. Bolaño wrote some pretty good books but I haven‘t read this one. 12mo
Bookwomble @BarbaraBB I haven't read anything else by him. I've read that this was his first novel, which wasn't published until after his death, and some controversy about whether it would have been his wish for it to be in print. Reviews are a bit mixed, but I have no context by which to judge it, just that it wasn't working for me. 12mo
BarbaraBB Well, on to the next 🩵 12mo
Librarybelle That‘s a shame! But, if you‘re not enjoying it, it‘s time to move on…good try! 12mo
