I'm right there with you, HarryT

Thought it was very good indeed (I read it in the original French, not in translation). I also enjoyed the movie. Although "enjoy" is probably the wrong word. Let's say it "affected me", rather.
It's difficult to recall the "worst" books I read, I try hard to forget them - and I'm succeeding admirably in the case of "popular" drivel! I very rarely abandon a book halfway even if I don't like it.
For Literature however... I remember that I never managed to finish Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables" and Thomas Mann's "Buddenbrooks". Oh, and I absolutely hated Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot". But does that make them "bad" books?
