I almost bought The Corrections today but decided against it, just for that reason.<br /><br />Vaishnavi, A dud it was. But I'm ok with that.

It is extremely annoying when you go into a book with all these expectations and it turns out to be something of a dud.Vaishnavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08829055456233904866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-77314724239233738562010-12-05T00:17:02.375-06:002010-12-05T00:17:02.375-06:00I read it before I heard all the buzz about it, an...I read it before I heard all the buzz about it, and I'm glad I did...I enjoyed it but it wasn't as amazing to me as it seemed to be to other people.

I totally know what you mean though...you get bombarded with high ratings and reviews about a book and you read it expecting something INCREDIBLE and then it's just a good read.
