HALFTIME REPORT 2023: The Most Disappointing Books I've Read (So Far)

It’s almost unfair for me to describe the books in this week’s list as “disappointing.” In most situations, the fault is entirely mine — I had unreasonable or inaccurate preconceptions before starting the books, and then they naturally let me down when I realized what they truly were. In any event, I did not enjoy these experiences as much as the others I have had this year. As always, your mileage may vary.
