I'm reading a book I got on the effusive praise of someone on my flist.
And part of me wants to fling it across the the room.
Why?
Because the heros are so precious, the bad guys so evil and the villan so damned stupid it makes my teeth ache. The overall story doesn't grip me enough to make up for the characters and the characters don't entertain me enough to get me past the plot holes or the deus ex machina powers.
I'm hoping it gets better. I'll finish it, because I do that sort of thing.
I don't know as I'm buying any more of this though.
