I just don't get it <BR/><BR/>Skulduggery Pleasant- I loved the first few chapters. The back n forth between Skulduggery and Stephanie was funny, different and interesting. It lost me somewhere in the middle. All characters voices started sounding similar to me. Everyone had cynical deanpan responses and oneliners. I tired of the characters quickly and could no longer enjoy the story line. <BR/><BR/>DoretAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372766156282694670.post-34265878959641274112008-02-01T12:56:00.000-05:002008-02-01T12:56:00.000-05:00That was supposed to say, "I couldn't get the hila...That was supposed to say, "I couldn't get the hilariousness everyone else got without hearing that 'trying' in my mind."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372766156282694670.post-33531149855098794742008-02-01T12:54:00.000-05:002008-02-01T12:54:00.000-05:00There are so many books that got rave reviews (by ...There are so many books that got rave reviews (by bloggers, anyway) that I felt lukewarm about I don't even want to start listing them, because I'll sound like a pompous, picky jerk. So I'll limit it to one: <EM>Moxy Maxwell Does Not Like Stuart Little</EM>. Everything about it to me screamed, "This author is trying to be hilarious!" I couldn't get the hilarious everyone else got without feeling the "trying" out of my mind. And I realize this is tied into my personal sense of humor. But. There it is.

I read it, it was compelling, but I failed to spot the humor that everyone else raved about. More recently, I simply have not been able to get past the first page of Eragon. "Vermillion eyes?" Ugh!<BR/><BR/>These days, I feel like such a literary curmudgeon. I'll read glowing reviews by bloggers I respect (because I read what the bloggers tell me to read!), only to get the books and feel nothing more profound than indifference to the stories.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372766156282694670.post-34945465057512236832008-01-31T22:18:00.000-05:002008-01-31T22:18:00.000-05:00I completely forgot how much I disliked Tamar. :)I completely forgot how much I disliked Tamar. :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372766156282694670.post-3064779997188160342008-01-31T22:17:00.000-05:002008-01-31T22:17:00.000-05:00I really really really dislike Octavian Nothing.
