Ok, Mr. Field by Katharine Kilalea

How this book manages to sound both incredibly pretentious and fucking stupid at the same time is honestly beyond me. The author spends more time providing us with completely irrelevant and worthless information (that bit about the tennis ball falling from the sun? why?) than she does actually writing a good plot or compelling characters. I was just so bored. And I was actually excited to read this to find out why it had such a low rating, but I couldn't even find enjoyment from how bad it was because it was that bland.
I considered just skimming the final 50% of this, but then I realised! I don't care enough about this book to skim it! My understanding of the plot would still be where it's at now even if I had finished this, which is why I gave up.
