Men Who Hate Women

Not sure how I'm feeling about this overall. I like some of the characters and the banter. Yet the story feels slow at times while adding in heavy descriptions in areas where it doesn't need it. I want to love this but right now it's feeling kinda of dull and that makes me sad.

this is my first ever work by RF Kuang I've ever read and... wow. i'm not normally this fast at reading but the plot and style is so excellent i can't help myself. there's a couple moments where things are blatantly pieced together for me/the reader, but that's alright. i think those moments are only written out so plainly to make it obvious that something dawned on both me/the reader *and* Rin, which i think adds to the experience

How to Read Now
Elaine Castillo
cosm1cKiwis finished reading and wrote a review...
unexciting writing. plot felt very random/noncohesive. nothing was shocking, scary, unsettling, etc. would not read again and would not recommend. there are surreal-ish elements in this book that were mildly intriguing, but then played out into disappointments

i'm not sure i've met anyone else who does this but... do you guys keep a book around that you read intentionally for the sole purpose of boring yourself to death and getting to sleep??? i love Oliver Sacks' work but... personally i keep a copy of "Migraine" around my bed and flip to a random section and let myself fall into slumber. better and cheaper than melatonin! does anyone else do this? or does anyone keep a book around for some sort of atypical function? i'm curious to know

I used to only focus on one book at a time but lately I feel like I'm always reading 2/3 books at the same time and depending on the mood it's the book I'll read that day. But then once I'm half-way down one book, I usually just focus on that one until I finish it. Right now I'm reading The Hunting Wives, Trunk Music and Bitten. I got about 1/3 on each but now I'll full focused on The Hunting Wives, probably gonna continue with the others once I finish this one.
