What I Read and How I Hated It

Life is crazy right now, especially with the number of books I am reading. I am reading a Kurt Vonnegut and a Ralph Ellison book for school, along with Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare. Plus, I have Infinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon, Crossed by Ally Condie, Blink by Ted Dekker and a slew of others that I desperately need to get to... Oh! I wish I could read faster! If any one has read any of these books, please tell me if they are any good. It wouldn't hurt to take one off of the to-do list.
Alright, on with the review of the day. Despite what the name of this blog might make you think, these posts are not just about things you should read. Sometimes I like to talk about thinks you shouldn't. I like doing this because it's fun to write negative criticism, and, because I don't want you to waste your time on a bad book like I did.

And so begins my first negative review. I am begging you, do not waste your time reading What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell. This book is not well written, has a bad plot and, ultimately, a not-so-redeeming ending. Sure, if you want to read a book about creepy cougar moms, parents ruining their child's life and a whole lot of sex to get back at whoever anyone is trying to get back at, you'll enjoy this book. But people being tricked and mistreated all the way through an entire book annoys me. Especially when you want the character to make her stand and she never really does and even when she does it's just more sex and lies. Way to grow up, Evie.

The book was a waste of 284 pages and a week of my life. the characters are cruel, naive, occasionally bigoted losers and not one of them was fun to read about. Maybe I've intrigued you, in which case, sure, go read the book, but don't say I didn't warn you!
