Well for me, Going Bovine by Libba Bray is THAT book.
"Can Cameron find what he’s looking for?
All 16-year-old Cameron wants is to get through high school—and life in general—with a minimum of effort. It’s not a lot to ask. But that’s before he’s given some bad news: he’s sick and he’s going to die. Which totally sucks. Hope arrives in the winged form of Dulcie, a loopy punk angel/possible hallucination with a bad sugar habit. She tells Cam there is a cure—if he’s willing to go in search of it. With the help of a death-obsessed, video-gaming dwarf and a yard gnome, Cam sets off on the mother of all road trips through a twisted America into the heart of what matters most." - A summary taken from Goodreads
I had read the first hundred pages (around there maybe, it's possible that I might have read more) of this book last year. One of my classmates was reading this for a book project and he had let me read some of it during class. I remember really liking it last year so I decided to read it again this year (and actually finish it this time) but even though there are some funny parts, overall it's been pretty boring. And that is really disappointing to me.
I mean, I can abandon this book right now and I wouldn't really regret it because there's not much to enjoy so far. But there are 480 pages and I'm only on 127 (that's not even close to half, that's like a fourth) so I can't say much about this book. Not right now.
