pmsl Nate

erm - I really didn't enjoy American Psycho. Every outfit is described in detail (which I guess is supposed to be a criticism of materialism, but jesus, bitch, I get it) and I'm a bit queasy so I stopped reading as soon as it got as far as murdering a tramp and breaking his dog's legs.

What I read of Twilight was as mind-numbingly pathetic as a horoscope. Just page after page of really poor narrative, literary skill and pre-pubescent squealing.

The Llandor trilogy, it's pretty bad fantasy. I don't like any of the main characters, and the plot seems to meander, the dialogue is awful, and sometimes the same points are brought up again and again, the whole fantasy land seems poorly thought out.

Peerless Flats by Esther Freud and Forever Friends by Kate McCabe were both ****. Oh and Naked in Knightsbridge by Nicky something, the main character was just so irritating! Those are just the ones I finished, there's a few that were so bad I had to give up on them and now forget what they were called.

The bibles not really that bad. From the bits I saw.

My grandma had a huge gold bible in her room on this display cabinet thing. The pictures were nice

The Bible is ok, ending is a bit predictable though

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance has to be up there in the top ten. Self-indulgent, whiney American psychobabble.

Oooh, you bitch. Lol.


I'd have to say I have read a few books that are similar to 'A Boy Called It' for research and for my life they are some of the most bland, perfidious and lacklustre books I have ever encountered. I still cannot believe that they were the top selling books at one point.
