For me, the most recent book regret is Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. Predictable from the get-go, bland, boilerplate sci-fi ideas, too many of these way-too-convenient plot devices just to push the story forward. I frankly don’t get the hype, and I am a pretty big science fiction guy.
Another one is Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. I read this in college and this whole book should have been a one-page essay. It was too repetitive, and the whole premise of “trust in your snap judgments and gut reactions” is way too simplistic and honestly stupid. Like all Gladwell books, it was anecdotal, superficial, and a waste of time.
I heard there was a book about some guy that transformed into a roller coaster monster like a werewolf, so I immediately bought it. I expected Twisted! to be badly written, but I didn’t expect it to be so boring and generic. Apparently I missed out on a sex scene between a human woman and the protagonist as a coaster, but I can’t imagine it ends up any better than the rest of the story.
If you want some weird trash, Modelland by Tyra Banks is the better choice by a mile.
Well, this synopsis was quite a rollercoaster
