Really bad books.

Basically this book tortures the main char so much that you basically hate the author and want to get donkeys to rape him.

first she gets sent away from her family then raped then she is pregnant by her cousine then the baby dies then she runs away and finds her true love but when she tells him that she had been raped he blames her and gos to africa then she meets the guy who raped her and he forces her to marry him and then the guy of her dreams comes back and she kills the guy she is married to and as she runs away with her true love the police find them and she gets executed and her true love marrys her sister...

HOW F&%#ED UP IS THAT??????????????????????

It did have an interesting premise. I found it very slow and uneventful, but you may like it. Read it just so you can say you've read it, if for no other reason. Wink

At Valtiel: XD He he, and if it's at the library I don't have to pay.

At heartless: Uhg, one of those things you could post on a fan fic website and they'd be up in arms about it and giving it awards, I hate those. I like to torture my characters, but I don't go out of my way to do it. Normally if has a PLOT reason, or is used to make the character grow. Sink or swim you know?
And I think using rape is cheap a lot of the time. I'm not saying it has no place in literature, I'm just saying that people use it like something so frivilous it's not funny.

I haven't even read Half-Blood Prince or Deathly Hallows yet, and I really don't have any overwhelming need to in the near future.

I'm a loser when it comes to Harry Potter...I've read each book something like 12 times. I thought Goblet was...well, it was definitely the weakest book of the series, IMO, but not a bad book - It sets up alot of what was coming. Order was actually my favorite book.

I don't think it seemed at all like Rowling lost all interest. Care to explain what makes you think that?

That's cool, 80 gajillion other fans out there agree with you. I knew as soon as I posted that somebody was going to question me, and I thought it'd be a lot harsher than that! So thanks for being civil Very Happy

I just think her writing loses the passion it has to begin with, like she's getting bored with the story or tired of writing the novels. I'd be tired after four or five books too, let alone six or seven. I've also read in the newspaper that Hollywood was pressing for Rowling to finish the novels before the actors got too old to do the movies, and at first I didn't think it would have that much of an impact on her. As I read Goblet and Order, however, I started to get the feeling that Rowling wasn't really writing these books for herself anymore. They felt rushed and slapped together with a bunch of cliches, which is a shame because the beginning premise was such a mindblowingly original idea. I mean, the fourth book uses the ol' trial gag, and I'm of the belief that authors only use that one when they have to fill up space.

I'd like to have seen what Rowling would have done with the books if they'd decided to wait for the series to end before pumping out the movies. That way we would have seen a story with plenty of planning to it, carefully written at the leisure of the author. So, I guess I blame Hollywood in the end.

Hey, Harry Potter really isn't my area of expertise. I'm just basing my opinion on what I read in the paper, and what I observed reading the fourth and fifth novels. They're still a lot better than most of the crap out there for kids and early teens to read; hell, they're probably better than most the crap out there for adults to read. I just don't think the fourth and fifth books are that good, at least not as good as reputation demands.

Just my thoughts. Cheers. Very Happy
