In that bunch, are a few that have Baracle Boy and Mermaid Man. Ahhh, the super heros of bikini bottom. This is so something they would say.. and have said. lol..<br /><br />The dad sounds just like my dad, except mine smells like B/O, not blood. For realz.. I know that's mean, but true. He doesn't believe in deodorant. My parents came to visit 2 weeks after Aubrey was born. It was July so he was wearing wife beaters. he would sit on my couch and the armpit juice would just drip onto the end of it.. The morning they left, I made Brian shampoo the couch.. It's that bad.. but yeah, my mom cant wipe her ass without my dads permission.. she's completely dependant on him.. he told my brother and I one night that her box smells.. yup.. he says this stuff to people, degrades her and she just sits back and giggles. I have not much respect for either of them. <br /><br />whew, got deep there. lmao. So glad they live in GA, far from me. <br /><br />Great honest review though.. :) I will probably never read this, b/c I'm so over angels, so feel free to fully vent via email or DM. lol. <3Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08860029277147120060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-4347855729043055782012-02-03T09:35:54.121-08:002012-02-03T09:35:54.121-08:00Andrea the shrew... has a nice ring to it. lolAndrea the shrew... has a nice ring to it. lolAprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08860029277147120060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-78343613499880700372012-02-02T15:08:23.412-08:002012-02-02T15:08:23.412-08:00I'd only seen positive reviews for this book, ...I'd only seen positive reviews for this book, so I figured you'd like it, but, hey, you, like me, don't always like what everyone else does--so yay! I haven't read this one, but I'm a little leery of doing so now, since I get annoyed by all the same things you said annoyed you about this book. I'll still give it a try someday, though. <br /><br />The author did commission some beautiful artwork of her characters by one of my favorite artists, so that's at least something good!Cathy Keatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356112948372149785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-56393283295312443902012-02-02T13:52:28.046-08:002012-02-02T13:52:28.046-08:00One of my friends told me that she couldn't st...One of my friends told me that she couldn't stand to read this book because of all the reasons you listed. Her biggest pet peeve was she hated to be told how to feel for a character in a specific moment rather than actually be able to feel the emotion through the writing. <br /><br />Great review. I think i'm going to skip this book after reading your review. We pretty much have the same opinions and taste in books. <br /><br />Thanks!Nerissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248111148399749128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-30789279975112622852012-02-02T13:25:42.464-08:002012-02-02T13:25:42.464-08:00You are SO not alone, Jen.

It happens to all of us. It's one of the worst parts about being a book blogger to write a review that wasn't all glitter and happy thoughts. But you have to be honest and that is what makes you a better blogger. Nobody wants someone who sugar coats everything. There are many ways to be honest and I think you did an awesome job. Good blogger etiquette is to be honest but not brutally so. Nobody wants a mean blogger either. You did an awesome review.
