Oh, my deepest sympathy! Is your boss an evil person? Rebekah Send a noteboard - 23/10/2010 11:32:16 PM
God damn, that book sucked so much ass. Anti-feminist, adolescent female wish fulfillment. Plus, bad writing and characterization. It doesn't get much worse than that.

Quite. I've read bits here and there and felt dirty afterwards. My little sisters are reading them - and love them - and I have to very carefully tell the girls that they are bad books. Poor young minds, polluted forever. :(
