Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ha! Oh, I'm halfway through Jonathan Strange right now, but after I'm done, I'm looking forward to reading Cold Kiss and Glass Heart.

Because books.

I hope you like them, P-C. It makes me so happy every time someone reads them.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Every time I think of your books, I get The Hush sound stuck in my head! I love them, so not a hardship!

Because books.

Aw, me too! Also, Greta was totally my rock star girl crush.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, I am now reading Gone Girl and it is a weird fucking book.

I am getting ready to bail on it (and/or skim the rest) because I absolutely cannot stand the main narrator. I am interested in the end tho. Any suggestions from those of you who have read it? Should I hang in?

The second part of the book has a different narrator, le nub, but no guarantee you will like that character any better. I stuck with it only to see how she tied up the loose ends, but I never actually liked it. Imagine me shrugging.

Amy or Nick? Either way, I'd say it's worth sticking with to see where it goes. But, FWIW, I thought Amy was supremely annoying in the beginning and ended up loving the book.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Nick is who is annoying me. Amy (through her diaries) is okay I guess. From the beginning there are all these inconsistencies between the narratives that are driving me crazy (and not even across, but within - mostly Nick's). I'm trying to figure out if I should like someone in this book because so far, there isn't even a child in the narrative that I could care about.
