Disappointment July 1, 2010

Name a book or author that you truly wanted to love but left you disappointed. (And, of course, explain why.)

Oh! this is an easy one this week. The author that left me disappointed was John Grisham I'm sad to say. When I first started to read his books, The Firm, The Pelican Brief, etc.,  I found them a bit exciting and suspenseful. However, the last few books I read of his, The Painted House, and  Playing For Pizza I found very boring. It took me about six months to get The Painted House read. I would read a while and put it aside, read something else, pick it up and read some more, until I got the whole book read. I thought maybe it was just me. Therefore, I gave the book to my daughter-in-law to read, not telling her how boring it was. A few weeks later, she ask, "Did you like that book, I thought it was really boring." I agreed with her. I also found Playing For Pizza boring as well, although just to be fair, I read it straight through, from beginning to end. However, I haven't completely given up on John I have two of his books on my bookshelf  waiting to be read. They are Bleachers and The King Of Torts.  I am planning on reading a few reviews of them, before I decide if I am going to read them or not.
