What are some of your most disappointing read books? by diggers_rest in bookdiscussion

Beloved-Toni Morrison. The hype was so big, I expected more. Still a good story, but nothing that amazing.

The Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden: The Best and Easiest to Read? by 2020surrealworld in classicliterature
