I love Pam Grier. This is a hard to put down piece of writing about a very strong woman, however while reading about her ability to perservere I couldn't help but believe that Ms Grier has many personal problems that she really has not dealt with. I don't know if it can all stem from her sexual abuse as a young child though I'm sure that plays a large part. I suppose what I found so frustrating is that this beautiful, talented, strong woman keeps choosing men who care much less for her than she does for them.

Oh if only all P&P fanfic can be as long and as well written as the works of Lucrezia. Sigh.

I've passed last years reading goal by quite a margin, however I'm not entirely pleased that it's because of the excessive amount of fanfic that I read this year--and have counted for 2013. There won't be any more of it counted for the rest of the year, nor will I include fanfiction in next years goal, which will still be 200 in an attempt to beat 172.

books, reviews
