I couldn't finish my first blind date with a book, although I did read about nine chapters of Erica Ferencik's Into the Jungle. I wanted to give my date a fair chance, although I probably should have called it quits after the first few pages.
This was not a story for which I should write up a review, primarily because I didn't finish the book. I also have expectations of any story I read to engage me on some level, which this did not. I feel as if I'm not the right reader for it.
I think if you enjoy very literary stories with surrealism and lots of artful writing, and you don't feel a need to sympathize with the characters, this would be a good date for you. It just wasn't for me.
