Pauline's comments from the Books I Loathed group.

I know I will most likely get slammed for saying this. But for some of you who just do not like Picoult's writing or books...why did you continue to read her books?

If I do not like a book or cannot get into it, I will most likely give the author another try but after that...nope, I'm done.

But it seems like a lot of you keep reading her books and I just wonder why? Why do you keep reading them? I have a hard time thinking that it's because you like wasting your time like that just to come to a message board and trash it.

So, again, if you do not like her, her style, her writing...why are you continuing to read them? What makes you want to continue to read them if you do not like them?

I don't really understand the hoopla for this book either. I didn't really care for it. It actually bored me. And I don't know nor understand the connection for people and this autism, because unless I missed something Mark Haddon doesn't have autism. I don't think anyone can completely get into the mind of someone with autism and how that person is going to act. This is why, while reading it, I didn't really take it from the standpoint of autism...but read it for what it was and in my opinion, it wasn't much...
