panFor the last #crimesagainstcovers post, it‘s all about the book I‘ve been most tempted to wreck. Lord, there are a lot of contenders, but I‘ve got to go with Regina‘s Song by David & Leigh Eddings. What a train wreck. Bad enough the plot hinges on a college age girl tricking a cop into running a license plate to find the owner (she claims it‘s because the driver was cute, but he‘s her sister‘s killer), which is implausible.

BillBlume No cop with a brain would do this, but that‘s not the book‘s worst offense. Entire chapters are spent with the main character of this first person novel mansplaining how to build bookshelves. He mansplains lots of things and butts his nose into everyone‘s business. On top of that, it boggles the mind that a woman co-wrote this, because it‘s loaded with such sexist stereotype garbage. This book deserves to have nails hammered into it and... (con‘t) (edited) 6y
BillBlume ...a bath in lighter fluid before tossing it into a fire. I borrowed this book, so I couldn‘t commit any harm against it, but it so deserves it. Utter crap! 6y
BillBlume Did I mention I didn‘t like the book? #JustABit 6y

BillBlume Oh! Oh! And the ending!!! How could I forget. One of the dumbest endings to a book I‘ve EVER READ! Which involves this random moment of a fantasy-type element that gets no explanation whatsoever. It‘s like they couldn‘t figure out how to explain this nonsense, so they tossed it in to make the reader wonder what the &$)!? was going on. UGH!!! 6y
JSW @BillBlume why don‘t you tell us how you really feel? Don‘t hold back. Be honest. 😂😂 I LOVED this review! Never heard of the book but this made me laugh (which I very much needed). 6y
BillBlume @JSW I was just worried I might sound a touch melodramatic about this one, so I was aiming for a little restraint. I didn‘t even mention it‘s been more than a decade since I read this book. #MentionedItNow 6y
JSW Lmao!! Wow! I don‘t think I‘ve read any book I‘ve hated that much. I threw Perfect Days across the room because it was sick, but I didn‘t hate it. 🧐 anywho, thanks for the laughs. 6y
Erinsuereads Oh @BillBlume you are an absolute treasure 😂😂😂 6y
