DNF

I hate it when I can not finish a book. Even worse, I feel bad when I return it, because the author's have counted on that. I buy books of short stories for two reasons- One, because there is always something from one of my favorite authors in it and Two, I am always looking for new ones.
Sadly, it is mainly because of the one narrator, Lesley Ann Fogle, that I can not finish it. Her inflections, when she has them, are in the wrong places. Almost every paragraph starts out like she is either bored or reading a text book, and then half way thru she will get semi-animated. I have skipped the first couple stories but I can't go on. I just can't, or I will shoot my phone.
I will go buy it in kindle so I can read the stories. I just won't be buying anything she ever narrates.
Peter Bishop, on the other hand, was good. I wish I could give the book two sets of stars.
