I've been reading a novel and I can't make anything of it . I don't even know what the plot is:( The story? I've got no ideas where it's headed?? and the characters are ambiguous. Now am I going to continue reading it..most likely because I committed myself to reading one French novel a month or more; it really depends. If I can't engage myself there's no point in persuing this any longer. I need to feel that I am getting the story from the get-go. This is all I have to say really. Nothing exciting is happening in my life.
