Mehso-so

Wow…just wow. Dumpster fire, meet banana pants crazy! Without assessing blame or even guessing at psychotic diagnoses, this account is just one hot mess. There are decisions made that I would not make…I lost any naivety of humanity a really long time ago.

There is a part of me that feels sympathy for the author, but my cold, sarcastic heart isn‘t quite as sympathetic.

What a wild ride, and I am eager for the #SundayBuddyRead discussion!

CaramelLunacy I tried to feel sympathy, but the whole thing felt disingenuous. She didn't get caught up because she was just so good natured, she got caught up being greedy for the VIP life. Totally understandable, but she didn't acknowledge that so I was left largely unmoved. 12mo
Librarybelle @CaramelLunacy Really good analysis! 12mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I feel like she should have seen the red flags at the very beginning! This was nuts! 12mo
kspenmoll Agree with you. @CaramelLunacy! Both characters were a mess, greedy, vile will do anything for the VIP life as you said! If not for #sundaybuddyread I would have stopped reading it!!! (edited) 12mo
LibrarianRyan Nice! 11mo

The Store | James Patterson

The Store is definitely #OffTheirRocker in this book by James Patterson. They have cameras in our homes, businesses, on streets and in our cars. They also have drones following us so that the sky is full of drones to the point you almost can't see the sun. Everyone knows everything about everyone else on tablets you carry 24/7. Creepy. If you have a problem with this, they relocate you.

LibrarianRyan 👍🏻🤓 sounds interesting. 7y
12parsecs Ooo! I love a good "big brother" read! 7y

Unwind | Neal Shusterman

The adults who were brokering peace in the second civil war were completely #offtheirrocker. First off they make Storking (leaving children for others to find) legal, and then decide a good compromise for what started the civil war is unwinding. It was the least objectionable offer. I can't explain any of this with out giving away the story. I know we currently have safe haven laws, but trust me, those are awesome compared to unwinding.

Agnes Rackham is completely #offtheirrocker in the Crimson Petal. I do really like her as a character though. 👍

Robothugs Did your candy ever get to you? 🤔 The last thing it says is they attempted to deliver and it's being held for you. (edited) 7y
Kalalalatja @Robothugs not yet, but it might have been delivered after I went on vacation. Hopefully it will be there for me when I get back 🤞 7y
Kalalalatja @hlgreenfield it definitely is! It is one of my favourite from last year, so I can't recommend it enough! 👍 7y
Kalalalatja @vivastory I am, thank you! The weather is awesome, the atmosphere is perfect and I am relaxing a lot 👏🏝 7y
hlgreenfield Oh yay!! That's great to hear! Maybe I'll take it when I go on holiday at the end of the month as my Holiday read 😃 7y
Kalalalatja @hlgreenfield I think it will be a great holiday book! I was completely absorbed by it 👌 7y

The Shining | Stephen King

#Characters2017 #day26 #OffTheirRocker I don't think there's another author who can write crazy like Stephen King can.Some of his best characters have been batshit bugnuts,look at Annie Wilkes from Misery,Mrs White from Carrie & Jack Torrance from this novel.He starts out the story sane but with obvious drink & anger issues,but slowly descends into madness over the time spent isolated at the Overlook Hotel,helped along by the spirits occupying it.

Minervasbutler So much better than the film. And I love the film! 7y
AmyG The thing I love about King is his characters. There are always the normal people going through life and then the batshit crazy ones enter. Today...it's like real life. This is one of my most favorites. 7y
Bklover "Batshit bugnuts". I love it!!!!!???? 7y

Bertha Mason could qualify as #OffTheirRocker. But it's not her fault. Rochester is just a jackass. #Characters2017

Caroline2 Yes!!! Totally agree! 👍🏻 I was so underwhelmed by Jane Eyre! I loved the first half, when she was in the orphanage then it all went down hill when Mr Rochester turned up! 🙄 7y

#Characters2017 #offtheirrocker 🤔 Since it's the 20th Anniversary of Harry Potter, 🎉I'm going to pick Divination Professor Sybill Trelawney as a character who is at least a bit off their rocker. Sure, she's eccentric, she put on a bit of a show for everyone, and too much sherry drinking didn't help, but I think she's a bit of a nutter too--even if she got some things right.😜👓🔮 #happy20thanniversary #harrypotter 🎂💜⚡️#harrypotter20
