What a waste!!!!

I've read many books, but this is the first one that I ever stopped reading because of pure disgust!! For Robotham to try and push his personal political remarks on me about our Pres. George W. Bush was so unnecessary and in such poor taste. I will never read another book from this author..What a waste. By the way..the storyline was soooooo slow..no depth to the characters...etc., etc. I only wish I would have read it within the 30 days after purchasing..so I could return it to Doubleday for a refund because I surely was not satisfied.

Edit to Add: Hers was the only negative review of the book. Here is one from a smart person...

BEST BOOK I'VE READ

I thought this was the best book that i have ever read. I hated that the book ended. It's cerebral, intellectual, psychological. It's great. As far as the spelling errors, I didn't find any....litre, liter...Duh!! I laughed at the comment on Bush! It's true. I await the next novel eagerly. VERY eagerly

1. Freepers read books?

I mean real fiction, not just Coulter hate fests?

[leftchick]

6. It shocked me too!

:rofl:

[Warpy]

9. They try to, I think,

especially since they probably got the book for a birthday present. They're rarely successful, and I do believe the only way they get through any of the right wing exercises in literary dung is by keeping them in the appropriate room of the house and reading them whilst enthroned there.

2. I am now intrigued!

Thanx for the recommendation, ms Pratt.

3. It took her over 30 days to read a novel?

What a moran.

[atommom]

5. And she didn't even finish it ... she "quit in disgust"!

:P

[aeolian]

7. Now, now, reading can take a long time

when there are no pictures and you have to sound-out every word.

:)

8. stop it!...

you're killing me here.. :rofl:

12. Three weeks! Three weeks! Three weeks!

A group of blondes walk into a bar and request a bottle of champagne. The group sets a framed picture of Cookie Monster on the table. They proceed to dance around a table with their glasses raised while shouting, "Three weeks! Three weeks! Three weeks!"

Finally, the bartender can no longer take the suspense. "What are you ladies celebrating tonight," he asked.

"People say that blondes are dumb," one woman replies.

"Yes, but we bought this puzzle at the store and it says right there on the box '3 to 5 years'," added a man.

"So raspberries to everyone who says blondes are dumb," the woman continued. "We completed it in three weeks!"

"Three weeks! Three weeks! Three weeks!"

4. Hey, if you want to read a novel that attacks Bush

Read mine. Use the link below.

(Oh, I'm so ashamed of myself for using this opportunity to advertise myself.)

(No, I'm not.)

10. Damn Liberal authors and their ideas!!

"For Robotham to try and push his personal political remarks on me about our Pres. George W. Bush was so unnecessary and in such poor taste. I will never read another book from this author.."

I will shut them out!! Shut them Out!! Fox News take me away!! :sarcasm:

Truth hurts Freeper... stop whining. If you think this is bad, your days of disgust are just beginning (cause George's cover is about to get blown).

[Goblinmonger]

13. I can just picture this Freeper

with fingers in their ears "lalalalalalalalalalala Not listening lalalalalal"

[RebelOne]

11. I just finished reading that book.

Very good and I did not find anything political in it. The story is set in England and the author is British.

[leftchick]

15. there was no mention of the chimperor?

Is it worth the hardcover price? I just checked Costo and they don't have it. If it is Really good I will buy it in hardcover. I need a good beach book.

14. You might enjoy this article, too, along the same lines, of what happens

when books run afoul of the RW machine:

HOW I MANAGED TO GALVANIZE THE RIGHT–WING HATE MACHINE WITHOUT REALLY

Last Spring, I published an extremely strange book called Candyfreak: A Journey Through the Chocolate Underbelly of America, which I described to my publisher (and they described to readers) as "half candy porn, half candy polemic."

The book is a memoir of my own lifelong sweets fetish, along with an account of my cross–country journey to various small, independent candy bar manufacturers.

It got reviewed in a lot of unexpected venues, none, to my mind, more so than the right–wing magazine, The National Review.

16. LOL! Now I have to have this one as well!

• "I literally threw the book across the room (where it still sits at this moment) after his progressive tantrum on page 204."

;)

[liberalitch]

17. I read the synopsis....

It sounds really good...
I love a good murder mystery.....

have you ever read "The Lovely bones" by alice seabold?

[AlCzervik]

18. I loved that book but i cried at the end.

[leftchick]

19. I love Mysteries and Espionage...

I have not read that one. Isn't that an Oprah pick? I seem to recall it from somewhere. My favorite Authors right now are John LaCarre, John Sanford/Camp, Carl Hiaasan (he is a Pip!), Robert Ludlum Laurence Saunders (before they died :( ), Elmore Leanord (more I can't think of right now) and I am always looking for someone new. I will check her out.

Here is John LaCarre's latest. It is very anti-war/bush/blair throughout it! He is fantastic.
