Based on the reviews of this book from friends/people I follow, this book is clearly just an abomination. So who are the thousands of people that like this book??? I fear for the future of the human race... :( Great review though. Yet another testimony to why I will never touch this monstrosity.
This review is way too long, but there was so much wrong with this book, that simply writing "fuck it" wouldn't cut it :/ I understand how people can like Beautiful Disaster and 50 shades or Twilight. I do. But this for me is a friendship breaker. :/ There's no fucking justification for this.
I'm appalled by rating this shit received. Truly. I don't even know what to say to that.
Thanks! I did, but I don't think I'll go for that kind of book ever again. I really should have DNF. Just when I thought I've already seen the lowest low I've heard knocking from below.
It was fun, but I feel your pain! And I am soooo not reading this - have a relative who is bipolar. And there is not much I hate more than using such things as plot devices and then not doing your homework (only thing worse is when rape/sexual abuse is used this way - with ensuing sex scene between the MCs of course...)
The bipolar thing really enraged me. The author basically said that psychiatric hospitals are evil and meds are bad for you. All you need is love and strong will. Which is bullshit. :/ I don't know why it's suddenly cool for authors to do no research and spout nonsense. It's a new trend.
And I loathe it with a vengeance - this is so offensive...so arrogant, stupid and hurtful to people. Like shaming them for not being great enough human beings for overcoming a serious mental illness like this without chemical help. I should calm down again and think about my vacation, or I will scare my husband with my "Hulk"-face again...
I find it immensely offensive. You wouldn't tell someone to "get over their cancer", but when a person is depressed, it's just fine to say it. *rage face* Unbelievable.
You're right, you should think about vacation. And kittens. And cake. That's what I'll do right now, before I commit murder...
Yeah, it makes you seriously doubt humankind when you see so many high ratings for such a book...
And you wouldn't believe it, but I also came across somebody who seriously told me, that you won't get cancer if you only "think positive" enough - in my family we lost one relative to a brain tumor and one to pancreatic cancer - basically their own fault for not thinking enough good thoughts I guess...ARRRRGH - "Hulk"-Face for shaming and guilt-tripping people for getting sick!
Now back to kittens, rainbow-vomiting unicorns and my sweet husband...
OMG An!!! How could you finish this? I would have rage-quited from page 2[no need to be mean and say 1]. I don't understand how someone could love this unedited, unresearched crap
Slowly. And with a great deal of discomfort. It was shear perseverance. That book made me want to give up on reading, I just lost will. :C It totally deserves a rage-quit. I'm shocked by the fact that there are people out there that love it. This book literally has no redeeming qualities. WTF?
Actually, the cover sucks hairy balls. Where's his 8 pack? Where? Is it shy and hiding under fat? But Riptide was supposed to have magical 0% fat! *don't keep calm and keep raging on&=*
Yes, if someone rated it highly I don't wan to have them on my friend list. I wouldn't be able to trust another word they say. This is a firs friendship-breaker I've found.
