Donoghue, Emma - Slammerkin (spoilery)

[oyceter]

So, by popular demand, the spoilery summary of Slammerkin!

Well, if "by popular demand," you mean "by the request of three people."

Here's my previous entry on the book.

OMFG. Now I'm really glad I just added it to the to-be-sold bag. You've done us all a public service. :)

I know! I just kept reading, and I knew it wasn't going to end happily, but really, I didn't expect the cleaver!

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition cleaver.

...well, gosh.

This really shouldn't make me laugh. And yet.

That is a most excellent icon for this post!

It totally cracked me up when I was thinking back on it. I mean... wow!

[rushthatspeaks]

Wow. That's so astonishingly depressing that I'm amazed that none of my English classes ever assigned it.

Staying the heck away from that one.

[oyceter]

Yes. Yes, very!

I mean... cleaver.

WTF. Thank you so much for warning me to NEVER EVER read this book. *Dashes off to read something cheerful and shmoopy to get the gloomy taste out of my brain.*

[oyceter]

I feel a desperate need to read Sorcery and Cecelia again.

[coffeeandink]

Okay, I don't need to read this. Thank you!

[oyceter]

It's true! I don't think I conveyed the full horror and depressing nature of the book over dinner.

Definitely NOT vacation reading.
