Anita Blake #1

6/10

Ah Vampire Literature why do you grieve me so?

 

Shoutout to The Southern Vampire Mysteries books

Alright before I start I should add a small disclaimer here. I JUST read this book for the first time. I knew they existed and two people had actually recommended them to me but it was some years back when I could only afford to buy a few selected books (and I only bought whatever I couldn't find in the library) so I kind of skipped the whole Anita Blake business. Onto the review now.

One of the worst things I've ever read. SERIOUSLY. Including fanfiction written by prepubescent girls. Ms Meyer is obviously living her wet dream through her awful awful book.
 The writing is horrible. The plagiarism is also horrible. It feels as if the author is writing with a thesaurus in hand, using synonyms without even knowing if the specific synonym fits. I feel compelled to go do a word search and see how many times she used the word "chagrin". The characters are unbelievably shallow and lame and Bella Swan is the textbook definition of a Mary Sue.

Why?

The Old Man and the Sea *spoilers*

The Old Man and the Sea

2/10

I have the Greek hardback 1963 version of  it  and also borrowed it on audiobook read by Donald Sutherland. in short my opinion is: HOLY FUCK THIS WAS A DRAG. Even Donald Fucking Sutherland was bored when he was narrating!

This is me during the book.
