As I've mentioned in the past, I love to read. I am a sucker for a good romance and some chick-lit. I have several author's that I love and the other day I got the latest title from one of them. I won't mention her name here because this is so NOT going to be a flattering post.
So anyway, I got the book and sat myself down and was looking forward to just relaxing and reading...and then I wanted to peel my own skin off. This particular author's books tend to all follow the same formula - it seems that in most cases, she almost just changes the names - and yet I can't stop myself from reading them. Some are better than others but this one was - BY FAR - the worst.
There was no real story line, a LOT of conversation about characters from other books in the series, and way too much attention spent on the Halo video game series. I mean, I had a 187 page book that I seriously only read half of because I had to keep scanning to get beyond the boredom!
Seriously, REALLY bad book!

of course you now have me interested in wanting to know the name of the book..
I hate when that happens, especially when it is on of my favorite authors. I guess you can just hope the next book is better.
I read a book like that recently. I feel compelled to finish them even though I'm not enjoying one paragraph of them. It's like I'm being wasteful of the money I spent if I don't manage to get to the end, even though I don't enjoy getting there.
