I had to take a break after finishing the book before writing the review. I thought it might help me soak up the book and see it from another point of view, however, my opinion has not changed. I was highly disappointed with the book. I don't mind adult themes, I am in fact an adult, however, putting over-the-top and incredibly unlikeable characters throughout the book, no plot to speak of, and meaningless dialogue riddled with the f-word is not a way to be more adult.
I guess I was most disappointed because I know J.K. Rowling is a great author. I loved the Harry Potter series, not only for the story, but also for her writing style. So I don't know what happened with this book, but she lost something after Deathly Hallows was published and when she published this little ditty.
If you don't believe me, feel free to read the book, however, I for one am either looking forward to her retiring or to returning to her Young Adult roots.
You're supposed to say, "But don't take my word for it!" Butterfly in the sky! I can go twice as high! Take a look! It's in a book! A reading rainbow! (A reading rainbow, a reading rainbow, a reading rainbooooow....)

DeleteHaha! Yes! I just wish your mom had named you Jordy so we could have made more jokes like these your whole life long. But I guess you dodged a bullet on that one.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I love the wedding pictures you added on your sidebar. You look gorgeous and those shoes are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I feel like the blog needs to be more exciting and I just play with it every now and then to add something. And I love those shoes!
