Review:
Unfortunately, Impossible is one of my first DNF (Did Not Finish) books since I started my blog. I checked it out at the library and started reading it right away. I really liked it in the beginning but for some reason, I just couldn't get into it or want to keep reading. After renewing twice and reading it for almost a month and not getting very far, I felt I should stop trying and move on to a new book since it was due and couldn't renew it again.
I really don't now why I couldn't finish it because it was exciting and a genre I really enjoy reading. I definitely will give it another try in the future because the story line is highly original, and I loved the writing style. It is so clever and neat to write a book off a song ballad! I really like Simon and Garfunkle's version of Scarborough Fair, so it was really interesting to read a story based off a version of that song written many, many years ago. I know many have enjoyed this book and hope I can too at some point. I really wish I could have finished it but will try again soon. DNF : (

Oh no ): This is definitely one of my all time favorite books! Maybe you can try it again sometime!
ReplyDeleteI know : ( I hope to try again because it was good...just couldn't finish it for some weird reason.
ReplyDeleteI've only previously heard good things about this book - so sad that you couldn't finish it. I'm actually reading a book right now that might end up being the first book I ever don't finish. Boo! No fun at all!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks. I have this on my bookshelf waiting to be read. I have heard great things about the book though so I will be reading it soon.
ReplyDeleteAw :( That's disappointing... :( This is one of my fav books ever.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read it, it was about to become a Did Not Finish book too, because I just could not get into it AT ALL in the beginning, I liked the idea but I just found it sooo slow...but after about the half way mark it just turned and became amazingly addictive and could-not-put-down at all...hopefully you can try again some time and get to that addictive mark :D
I read this book a while ago, and although it isn't one of my favorites, I definitely got into it. I thought it was very interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnd btw, I just checked out your blog, and I'm loving it!
xo, gina
Oh, that's too bad. The summary sounded promising.
