I'm finding it really difficult to keep reading this book. I don't know that it's one thing in particular; I'm really not enjoying the present-day-Iris story line as she just comes across as a dotey old woman; I'm not enjoying the past-Iris as she's such a pushover and I can't decide whether I want to throttle her or comfort her. Add to that that I'm just not buying into the "Blind Assassin" story by Laura Chase (if indeed it is even by Laura Chase, which I'm beginning to doubt). The mystery is no longer enough to keep me reading.
And it's really annoying because that's two of my summer reading list books that I haven't been able to finish. And the thing is, I don't need to read these books, so why am I forcing myself? I've decided to stop reading it and hope back onto it at a later date and see if it's perhaps just the way I've been feeling lately.
Next is either going to be Angela Carter's Passion of New Eve or Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. I think I will try a 'real' book this time and see if that helps hold my interest rather than on the Kindle.
