A Faint Cold Fear (Grant County, #3)
by Karin Slaughter (Goodreads Author)
by Karin Slaughter (Goodreads Author)
This is one of the worst books I have read in a long time.
I would love to give it a lower star but it probably was better than that. I got into Karin slaughter as a good friend knows I am into Guts, Gore and Bloodletting, the more macabre the better. This failed in *EVERY* aspect. I was not even concerned over Tessa - or whether she would lose the baby, save for how long she [Slaughter] was going to drag it out for? Answer - too bloody long.
It was my own fault, I should have deleted it off the computer after the first chapter. I am seriously thinking of not continuing with this series. Even having the computer reading it to me, using TextAloud, with "Lucy" reading it, did not help.
The only bit I did like was the idea of taking up Yoga to get laid more often. If you are reading this on FaceBook, scroll down to where I started reading this (July, 04) and everything will come clearer. To everyone else, " ... Lena guessed that the male yoga students got laid more often than any other guys on campus." Now, how can I do The Crow in an eleccy wheelchair. If anyone knows, then please let me know. Davros in a spandex leotard ... :-)
This book was T E D I O U S!
Can ANYONE _*please!*_ explain the point of the last two chapters? Did she have to write a certain amount of words for her payment? Do not say it was to establish the "back story", that is a cop-out.
Squishy, if you get to read this, the message not the book, leave this piece of **** well alone. I would rather buy you the the new Tess Gerritsen book, or the first book in the Mindhunters Series ("Waking Nightmare"), by Kylie Brant. I am only onto the second chapter and already think it is better than this pile of ****.
People that truly know me know that I am rarely lost for words. I find myself struggling to adequately describe HOW BAD this book is. I even thought Heart Sick, by Chelsea Cain, was better than this - and boy did I have issues with that one. As in the words of Red Dwarf, "Queeg", Rimmer: "You are a total, total... a word has yet to be invented to describe how totally whatever-it-is you are, but you are one. And a total, total one at that." I will let you substitute your own word.
