WrensReads Review:
Literally one of the grosses books I have ever read.
I read it because it had so many good reviews.
I actually went to see this movie in 2011 with my now ex-boyfriend, and we had to walk out of the theatre because of the rape scene.
Now four years later and older, I decided to pick up the book and see if it was bearable. It wasn’t.
There are SO MANY CHARACTERS that you LITERALLY have no idea WHO IS WHO. Some of the characters don’t even MATTER. There are so many different plots going on. It is so vulgar and gross I can’t handle it.
I do say that the solving of the mystery murder was actually a nice twist but other than that…
It was such a slow book. It was slow, really descriptive of things that didn’t need to be at all and just wasn’t something that I would recommend.
If I am not dying to get back into the world of the current book I am reading, then I don’t think it is worth it. If I am not thinking about the book during my normal day, I don’t think it is worth it.
It wasn’t worth it. Don’t always believe reviews.
