Wow it's bad.

Well ... were they too busy concentrating on their job in the police force to write good book?

 

[Springsteen]

A Strange Manuscript Found In A Copper Cylinder. By James De Mille, fascinating story.

Perhaps

Whatever they were doing, it impacted on their ability to write a coherent book.

Though I learnt from it (so far - I'm hoping there is more knowledge to be gained) that blowjobs = bad and all women who give them are sluts, thinking that you like a boy 2 minutes after meeting him = you're a slut, dancing in public = slutty, make up = slutty, if you climb a fence whilst wearing a dress and it rides up = slutty and that all American jocks have alcohol problems.

Oh and that American teenagers cannot start a sentence without the word '"hello" or know what words with 2 or more syllables mean (so an explanation is given).

Sweet Jesus stop reading it before it gives you a stroke!

 

[Abcinthia]

My friend gave me the first 3 in the series so I'm going to read them. I just want to see how bad they can get.

I've never known teenagers to act the way they are depicted in this book. They're apparently around 16 years old but with the vocabulary of a 5 year old. And the intelligence to match.

I kinda felt the same about the prose in Catcher in the Rye...

 

[Abcinthia]

I've not read Catcher in the Rye yet. I keep meaning to borrow a copy from someone but just keep forgetting. Most people I know who've read it though aren't very favourable towards it though.

 

[Sparkey Duck]

I know its all down to preference, but to me it's about as believable as an episode of Dr Who...


Just ordered a couple of Bret Easton Ellis books from the interwebz, shall be reading them soon... page long sentences here I come!

 

[Abcinthia]

Ooo I'm trying to curb my book spending so I've been going around charity shops and picking up anything that appeals to me.

I've got Agnes Grey by A. Brontë, Villette by C. Brontë, Memoirs of a Geisha by A. Golden and Robinson Crusoe by D. Defoe to read once I've finished these awful vampire books.

 

[Sparkey Duck]

not sure vampire and book are 2 words that should ever go together really unless its the 1800's...

 

[Abcinthia]

Hehehe. I really enjoyed Let The Right One In. It was just so different from the normal lovey dovey sexy teenage vampire crap.

 

[Sparkey Duck]

My friend loves Ann Rice, and he told me he was writing a novel... can't wait to read that *facepalm

 

[Abcinthia]

I find Anne Rice a bit hit and miss. I like some of her books but then the others are just a bit boring.

 

[Sparkey Duck]

Only read the one.. it was enough!

The Hound of the Baskervilles - Arthur Conan Doyle.
