Going Down by Jennifer Belle
1996
Weight: 9 oz
Method of Disposal: Donating
I guess my main problem with this book is that I could not hear the dialogue. I just could not imagine people talking to each other the way it was written. It was also difficult to believe in the main character. A young woman with money who befriends and slums it with the homeless from time to time, giving them money and condoms. The whole time I was reading it I was trying to decide if I should just put it down and move on. I was have that old debate in my head. Other people always say not to waste your life reading a bad book--there are so many good ones out there--but I always want to finish and sometimes I am shocked by how my feelings change at the end of a book or three days later. In this case, I kinda just wish I had put it down. Just not my thing, I guess. Plenty of other people liked it.
