baronessekat | 2024 Reading Challenge: a book from an animal's POV

A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Many of my friends read this book in the month of October with a "one chapter a day" as it has 31 chapters. While I understand the attraction of doing that, I found it extremely difficult with my reading style. Many chapters were only a couple pages and having to stop after just 3-5 minutes of reading actually caused me to have a visceral anger reaction. That being said, if I do read this book again, it will be in "chunks" not single chapters.

As for the story - it was ok. But my reaction to the story may be colored by my reaction to the "reading challenge rules". I may try again next October and do it more in longer stretches of reading.
But I can see how others would really enjoy the book.
