aaaaaaAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

I just read this whole sporking in one go, and I am appalled. Simply appalled. I made this face -- D: -- many times. I stumbled around the room, knocking things over. I punched out my own eyes with brooch pins.

This book is bad. I mean... BADDDD. This stupid pointless girl and this "I can't put enough quotes around the word 'angel' so I won't try" are HORRIBLE. I thought Twilight was bad. Twilight is a four-time Newbery Award-winning series compared to this. Words fail me.

On the one hand, I read this and think that if something like this can get published, surely anything I write will be considered

[After a long debate between Japanese cooking lessons and an eight-week writing class, my husband decided to give me the writing class for my birthday present. I have to admit, I was hoping for the Japanese cooking lessons]

After all the incredibly controlling creepy-ass stalker love interest in this waste of dead trees, this is kind of disturbing. Who was debating, again? If she wanted the Japanese cooking lessons, why didn't she ask for him? Because like this it kind of sounds like they debated together which one he was going to give her for her birthday, and she wanted the cooking lessons, but didn't say so, and so he decided to give her the writing class. Even though he should have known she didn't like English.

Maybe I'm reading too much into things. But after Patch and all his fucking deciding...

It just rubs me wrong.

Finally, the end

I can honestly say I've seen better romance between dogs (White Fang).
