Ten Thousand Tries by Amy Makechnie

There are two reasons why you should disregard this review:
1) The 2nd most effective way to torture me is to put me in front of a soccer game and tell me I have to watch it. It turns out that it’s equally torturous to make me read a book about soccer.
2) I am not the intended audience for this book. This is definitely more appropriate for a tween reader.

I liked the relationships between characters. I would have preferred to spend more time on those (see #1).

The main character drove me nuts. I thought him obtuse (see #2).

The audiobook was obnoxious (see #2).

There may have been some good morals and life lessons in there, but they were lost on me (see #1).

All of the adults in the book were amazing, patient, kind and wise. I found it slightly unbelievable (see #2).

I know that there’s an audience for this book, but it’s definitely not me.

My rating: if that’s your thing
