  • What things make drop a book immediately?

    I consider myself someone who has zero problems abandoning a book, as soon as I read something that bothers me enough I'm out. But there is one specific thing that completely takes me out of the book.

    It is when a character does something no one would ever do if in their place. I once began to read a book where the main character was going to her first day at her job in a male dominated office and work field and as soon as she got there the first thing she began to do was drop a bunch of sexual jokes to people she had never seen before. Like, who does that? No woman in that same situation would risk her reputation in the first day of work like that.

    One thing would have been if she had made those same jokes in informal circle with her friends or whatever, but that was not the case. For me that was equivalent of those movies where the character fallow strangers into the forest no matter how weird said stranger is.

    What about you, what makes you completely drop out of a story?

    All systems red is a prime example of the value of a good captivating narrator. Full of an introverted charm, Murderbot capture the reader attention with its snarky sense of humor overlapping the simplicity of the plot and convincing the reader into following Its journey towards its self-knowledge.

    Nada como um livro bem escrito para trazer Ăąnimo pra vide. É louco como quando se lĂȘ com frequĂȘncia, e se decepciona com suas leituras tantas vezes, vocĂȘ esquece o porquĂȘ ama tanto ler. É sempre bom encontrar o livro que te lembra do prazer que Ă© o hĂĄbito da leitura
