Time Forever Lost

...

Top 5 Most Disappointing Reads

Lincoln by Gore Vidal
Burr was brilliant; but this was just meandering and meaningless.

The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
Kept building up to a climax that … never arrived.

Space by James Michener
WTF? The ultimate downer for any lover of the Glory Days of Space Exploration comes at you like a spit-vaseline-and-sandpapered curveball.

The Stranger by Albert Camus
Good supporting characterizations, but overall, over-rated junk without a point.

Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne
Shockingly grim and bitter; nothing like the fun pleasure it was to read From the Earth to the Moon (I hope it’s just a translation thing …).
