I won't get sick of these. I love the reviews. They crack me up.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you are enjoying them. It's much harder to get the balance between funny and ranter than I thought it would be.

although I know you'll all get sick of me soon!

Ahaha, that's not likely to happen, girl. I can tell you that right now. :D

OT: Love your current music!

Wait until I get to book 10! I can promise this - book 4 was one of the funniest things I've ever read so I promise some good laughs in my next report.

Thanks, I've found good music helps with the crappy reading material.

I read it, and . . . wha? I can't even imagine someone trying to outline something so convoluted and . . . just plain stupid. I mean, what goes through writer's heads? Was it a NaNo project she just churned out five years in a row until she had a version she liked?

That theory makes a lot more sense than her actually working on it for 5 years. Fun fact: when she started writing it she didn't include the angel content and boy, does it show! Thanks for reading the review.

wat. ):<

I have to say, your writing is entertaining, and i have read all of these posts, but the subject matter is so frustrating I find it hard to finish. You make me laugh but you are still writing about AWFUL SHIT I HATE, so sometimes it's a chore in self control to not RAGE QUIT.

"Nora tells the coach after class that she feels uncomfortable and wants to move but coach refuses and laughs. Then he asks her to tutor Patch!"

Hey, coach, why don't you take three steps back, get a running start and FUCKYOURSELF before I get you fired for ignoring harassment of a minor.

Basically when I read shit like that I want to stop reading shit like that. Thank you for reading it so I don't have to.

You're welcome, thanks for reading the review. Just spreading the snarky word over these terrible books. Someone's got to do it!

The content of this book made me physically rage. I still can't believe something like this got published. I blame Twilight for making abusive relationships the hot thing. Damnit.

Your commentary seems pretty awesome, but as a person directed in from the frontpage, I must say that though the review looked awesome, the story itself was SO MUCH FAIL that I couldn't finish your delightful review. My icon is for the story, not your critique, BTW.

Thanks for reading as much as you could. I'm aware the book itself is very painful (believe me, I know. That book is staring at me right now from my table, I think I'd better cover it up with a good book) and doesn't really deserve attention beyond the snarking. Wow, this is getting a lot of replies, how did that happen?
