So many reviewers either gush over every book so as not to offend - which makes me not trust their opinion - or they run down everyone who liked a book that they didn't - which makes me stop reading their reviews all-together. <br /><br />Nice job of reviewing a book you didn't care for without being fake or lecturing.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094928747500699123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296256244311296024.post-83335520566376937552012-08-06T20:46:11.403-05:002012-08-06T20:46:11.403-05:00Sorry you didn't like the book.

Except of course that Katniss is more kickass than any of Heinlein's heroines. Oh well, not everyone is going to love every book. One of the people in my book club didn't care for it either.gypsysmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811729931082569096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296256244311296024.post-50273144041717449662012-08-04T14:41:40.005-05:002012-08-04T14:41:40.005-05:00Well, Marie, you have a friend in me here! My son ...Well, Marie, you have a friend in me here! My son actually won a box set and offered to let me read them. I got through the first 100 or so pages and then quit. It just wasn't for me (although I will still watch the movie. Who knows??)<br /><br />I found the same thing with the "Shades of Grey" trilogy. So many people were peeved because I hated the books, but I just thought that the writing was amateurish at best and that there are so many gifted writers out there writing so much better stuff! I am certainly in the minority there too, LOL, and some people have told me so in no uncertain terms!!The Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248537555041830039noreply@blogger.com
