I liked the first volume, maybe I'll just take a break and give it another go later. I think I need comfort reads right now.

It might make it easier to keep the characters straight. I normally try not to watch adaptations first because if I do then I just imagine the actors and scenery in the film or TV version instead of what the author describes.

But if it is leaving you cold, then I say let it go. You gave it a shot and it didn’t work for you. And the remaining volumes are very much more of the same except Nick gets older and the friends and acquaintances change with time and world events. <br />Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-20108666021423347032016-12-01T08:11:04.297-05:002016-12-01T08:11:04.297-05:00This is on my Classics Club list, too, and I have ...This is on my Classics Club list, too, and I have that same edition on my shelf. I've even considered making the entire series a year long project. Candace (Beth Fish Reads) recommends the audio version narrated by Simon Vance... not sure I know anyone who has completed the series in print.
