I have two. The Ritual and Drowning.
The Ritual is pure smut. 61 chapters and every one contains a graphic, demeaning sex scene. I’m convinced the author was an adult film screenwriter and decided to try their hand at writing a novel. There isn’t a single likable character in this book.
Drowning isn’t a great work of literature. I felt that the characters were very two-dimensional. I hated how naive the author made the protagonist. It made me have a lack of sympathy for her. The ending was series finale of Dexter bad.
The Lovely Bones , just no
This was a 2/5, written that I could easily read it, but just boring, despite an interesting premise. The whole the dead woman being alive to the reader really takes a lot out of it and seeing her watch and commentate on her family’s doings.
What drops it to a 1/5 is looking at some of the spoilers in the review, bah gawd what an awful idea. Don’t believe me?
Cant believe something like that got past an editor or an author would even think that is a good idea
I also hated This is how you lose the time war but I will admit it is definitely not for me, where Lovely Bones I can say is trash
Fully agree, it’s so disturbing and not in a literary way.
