A review by malayaa
The Shelf Life of Happiness by David Machado

1.0

I was really excited to read this book, eventhough it had an average of 3.89 out of 5 ratings before I got it. I was optimistic that this would be a good read and I would enjoy it. Reading this book from the start is a little bit of slow and boring and I thought it would progress. However, I found that reading every word of this book is like dragging yourself or forcing yourself to swallow the food you don't want to eat. There are also a lot of curse words, which is fine if it is used appropriately in context or to reiterate a feeling but in this book curse words were used too much that they just added to that sinking feeling I have been having from reading the book, it made the experience worse. I was hoping I could find happiness by reading this book, but what it gave me is this loathing feeling with a sense of despair. Not good for a title with the word "happiness" in it.

If you are looking for a book that will make you hate every page and waste your time, I recommend this book.
