Stupid book of the week

[lizbee]

The Host by Stephanie Meyer hit shelves early this week.  I couldn't get through the first few chapters of Twilight, so I didn't give it a second look, but the buzz from those who've read it suggests that, as novels go, The Host makes a marvellous source of toilet paper.

We have also received two different Health Ledger biographies, a novel about Josephine Tey FIGHTING CRIME, and a work of chick lit that has the same basic premise as The Five People You Meet In Heaven, only with added stupid and bonus materialism.

On the other hand, I just got this comment on my review for A Great and Terrible Beauty:

Dude? This book has amazing literature in it. You must not no good writing. I honestly think no one should listen to this fool.

It gives you a good picture in your mind and its one of those books that when you read it, you almost see yourself as one of the charicters. That means its a well written book.

Well, that's me told! 

(I should go back to doing book posts on Vox, y/y?)

That's actually a really fair summation. And I finished the book! I think I will read the sequels as well. I've heard horrifying things about the plot developments in them and I guess I have to see for myself.

The fandom, not surprisingly, is teeming with badfic. When I went looking for some, it was too easy.
