Now, this is coming from someone who can still like something even if that movie/book/person uses curse words. But… after the the 11th (12th?) time of reading the Lord’s name paired with d**n, I found myself feeling icky. Also: Where was the plot? Oh yeah, that’s right, buried deep, deep, DEEP underneath all of the weird trying-too-hard-to-sound-good metaphors and weird experiences, cursing, and depressing ending. :) *coughs* yeeeeeeaaaah, well, cut to the mother who slaps Liesel around ALL THE TIME, the dad who smokes and slaps his daughter, the kid next door who won’t stop hassling Liesel about kissing him, the weird mayor’s wife, and the constant, CONSTANT use of curse words, and I found myself utterly, bitterly, disappointedly disliking the book.
Second off: I had heard some very good reviews from my friends about this book, and was expecting a well told story that had a brilliant plot line and lovable characters.
