The characters are just too young for me and it made me very uncomfortable. Also didn’t love the use of derogatory language right off the bat. Too bad because I wanted to like this one.

I got ten pages in and couldn't force myself to press on. After two, "And that's all I have to say about that"s, one LOL, and one SMH, I was out. HereI got ten pages in and couldn't force myself to press on. After two, "And that's all I have to say about that"s, one LOL, and one SMH, I was out. Here's the imagined conversation between the publisher and the author that I have completely made up: Publisher: "Hey! You're funny. Want to write a book?" Author: "Here's my Tweets." "Hm. Ok. These are good, but they're kinda short, aren't they?" "Well, some of them are multi-parters, and I guess I can write some chapter intros." "Are the intros any good?" "They're ok, but maybe you can just put them in colors that are really hard to read, and people won't really notice much about the content. I mean, people are probably going to skip those anyway because they're long, right?" "Mmmm, yeah. You're right." "LOL! k. I'll get my chapters to you by next week. TTYL!" ...more

She wI've had this on my "currently reading" shelf for nine months now, and I just haven't been able to finish it. The first part started very manic. She was all over the place, and she gave you a true sense of what was happening in her head. However, about halfway through, you could feel the depression setting in. It was too emotional, so I set it aside and haven't been able to go back. I think I would like to read it some day. ...more

I checked this one out from the library, and it was due back before I had time to finish, so it's still incomplete. I'll finish it someday! What I didI checked this one out from the library, and it was due back before I had time to finish, so it's still incomplete. I'll finish it someday! What I did read of it (about 3/4), I really enjoyed. It's so interesting to learn how a powerful, influential feminist rose from humble beginnings and worked extremely hard to help usher in a new age and a strong change in the nation. It's also interesting to read about how her looks were used to try to discount her abilities. ...more

I give up. I can't make it through this book. I tried. I really did. Usually, I would put down a book as soon as I read, "You want to be dominated." AI give up. I can't make it through this book. I tried. I really did. Usually, I would put down a book as soon as I read, "You want to be dominated." Alas, I was at the mercy of the audiobook, and it was either keep listening to that or try to find a station not playing Christmas music. So, I groaned audibly and kept listening. Well, at least he was telling her she wanted to be mentally dominated, not physically... But today, I gave up. After an endless string of nonsensical German words and some chatter about a sexually tense art heist, I was about to switch to the radio when I heard, "their bank statement was shorter than their family tree." I have no idea what this means. I just hit "eject", and it's going back to the library tomorrow. I guess I haven't gotten to the really good part yet, and I guess I never will. ...more
