Book Reviews of Paint It Black: A Novel
Book Review: An overly annoying story.
Summary: 1 Stars
After about 100 pages, it gets really old dealing with Josie Tyrell. She is just so... annoying. That goes for her dead boyfriend as well.
I suppose the point is that we all deal with our own inner pains in our own ways, but Jeez!
I love the author's use of very poetic prose, but I sometimes get a pretentious feel from her. As if she wants us to know that she is writing harsh, edgy literary fiction, and she is willing to throw in lots of sex just to prove it.
The ending has an overly bright, although a nicely vague, ending. Unfortunately you have to wade through a lot of dull everyday wierdness to get to it.
Book Review: Enough, already(!!)
Summary: 1 Stars
After 100 pages, we get it: the main character is very distraught, angry, and freaked out that her boyfriend is dead. These kinds of emotions can be understood for ourselves, but reading this over and over and over results in a tedious and boring novel. i quit at page 100. and i agree with at least one other reviewer that authors need to stop repeating their cute little eccentricities for certain words--in this case "voddy" for vodka.Book Review: soooo dreary
Summary: 1 Stars
i absolutely hated this book. i was really disappointed - i really enjoyed white oleander. but this book is full of unlikeable characters and it really goes nowhere. if you want to read page after page about a dull girl complaining about her boyfriend's suicide then this is the book for you. what a waste of money.Book Review: Not Worth The Time
Summary: 1 Stars
It was almost impossible to finish this book. I didn't find any of the characters interesting and didn't care what happened to them. The book was filled with pages of mundane details that just felt like they were there to fill up space. I was really looking forward to this book, but it was a disappointment.Book Review: Terrible!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is TERRIBLE. Like the other reviewers, I was excited to see that the author of White Oleander wrote another book. This is one of the worst books I have ever read. It is so depressing, boring, and wordy. Come on girl, get over it!! Move on with your life! Such a disappointment.
