You Don't Love Me Yet: A Novel Audiobook

" did not finish because I didn't like it that much "

" This book started off with promise and ended with me wanting to hurl the thing across the room out of total disgust. I mean, it wasn't just the plot that was missing...it was more...I won't go into details though because I don't feel like talking about a book that was a waste of time and isn't deserving of the text spent going into why it was so obnoxious...it just was. It gets one star for the kangaroo. "

" Not Lethem's best (I'm a fan from back when he wrote sci-fi) but still sort of entertaining for the pop/cultural elements yet a bit too vapid, oversexed and full of too many selfish, obtuse characters. Some of the rock band stuff was fun to read although the dj character in this was completely absurd. No one in L.A. (or any big city) from the so-called "alternative" world would listen to that nitwit. Almost took this down to two stars. Crap ending too that just shows off the emptyness on display...maybe I should have given this a 2*? "

" Love it! One of the few books that has made me laugh out loud. "

" I am so not the demographic for this book. But if you're a well-educated, underemployed, 30-going-on-18 hipster musician (not that there's anything wrong with that), you just might be. "

" Book club book of the month. Has a Kangeroo named Shelf and some interesting times. Not sure about the ending or the concept....but it was a new read nonetheless.... "

" strange, though gripping at times. delves into loneliness and what people will do to avoid it... loved the "astronaut candy" analogy! "

" Surprisingly soulless! "

" Ultimately a lousy book by a terrific writer; "lesser Lethem" might be the most charitable description. But as Donna Bowman wrote for the AV Club, "The man [was] due for a letdown." "

" i agree with s.c. - reasonably enjoyable. more enjoyable than a lot of things in life, like working. "

" pages 47-48...i think all of us can relate! "

" This the only one of his books I've read. Not bad, but not interested to read another. There is or at least use to be the turning foot, it's on Sunset not far from Dodger Stadium "

" I found this book disappointing. I generally quite like Lethem's novels and I found this one slight in comparison to Fortress of Solitude and Motherless Brooklyn. It was a quick read but even still, by the end I just didn't care. "

" Great story of young adults in LA trying to find their way. "

" weird but entertaining. i really like lethem. "

" Despite containing some witty ideas, this book never manages to feel very substantial. It's not as horrible as all the 1-star reviews might have you believe, but it definitely didn't leave any sort of impact on me. I've come to expect better from Lethem. "

" I'm such a Lethem fan and this book was really disappointing. It's really hard to write about music in Fiction. It always sounds forced. We get it, you're cool, you have great music taste. Your characters don't need to prove that. "

" The kangaroo thing was unnecessary. "

" Found some well-shaped sentences and good metaphors. Otherwise, this tale is bereft of any emotion that I can recognzie. "

" Not Lethem's best but interesting and imminently readable. "

" I thought I wouldn't like this at first. A book about L.A. hipsters. But, as usual, Lethem won me over with all his terrific details. I liked the slogan writing stuff. The plot wasn't great though. "

" I hated all the characters, much like I hated everybody in As She Climbed Across the Table. What's that about? "

" The one week book of Jonathan Lethem's. I'm a fan of just about everything else he's written, but this was pretty bad. If you haven't read any Lethem I'd say read just about anything else he's written first.<br/> "

" Lethem is in the unenviable position here of having to compete with himself and finds himself beaten. This book has its moments though, I'm glad I read it. Particularly at the end as the characters &quot;stand at the edge of their thirties&quot; he is truly poetic. "

" Not Lethem's best, but I'd still rather spend a few hours in one of the worlds he invents than in most anybody else's. "

" Despite containing some witty ideas, this book never manages to feel very substantial. It's not as horrible as all the 1-star reviews might have you believe, but it definitely didn't leave any sort of impact on me. I've come to expect better from Lethem. "

" Amusing in places but I finished with the general feeling that I didn't care for the characters. The situation seemed forced and predictable. Lethem's other writings are so much better. "

" So far my least favorite book by one of my favorite authors. "

" I'm not sure how to categorize this. I didn't get very far so I may give it another go. I was interested in it after loving Chronic City but this one could not keep me engaged. "

" I really thought this would be a fun read but I wondered why I even bothered. If it wasn't for the novelty of name dropping neighborhood haunts I wouldn't have finished it. "
