I started reading Crooked River Burning and I got offended almost right off the bat. I was not interested in hearing about a red headed woman who shows boys her cookies for a dollar fifty. I was angry and I said to myself " is this some kind of light weight porn book? I'm I in school or what?
This is not anything that i would choose to read for myself. This is not what I would consider a good read after a long day of work. i saw the ratings on this book but, I did not understand why it was rated as high as It was. I guess because I'm just really getting back in the school scene and i did not realize just how loose our morals had become.
I do not like ot complain but I'll give it a shot. In the words of a famous writer, I would not read this in a box I would not read It with a fox. I will try to read as much as I can but, I do not like this Sam I am.

I had forgotten about that, the first page I mean. I too was put off about that little inference. I did not find it relevent at all to the book and it left me not wanting to read any further. I am struggling with this book as my blog states however I will continue on reading like Constance because we have to Sam I am!
ReplyDeleteI too was put off by that reference on the first page. Unfortunately, there are other references to such things later in the book as well. I had higher hopes for this novel before I started reading it, but hopefully as time goes on we can get a better understanding of why this book did get such high ratings. Cute reference to Green Eggs and Ham. :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutly love your Dr. Suess quote and agree with it completly! I do not like this book and I don't know if it has to do with the unfamiliarity of the time period or what. Now, Green Eggs and Ham, however, is a good book:)
