Yes, I know I should be better at abandoning book or series. I tend to grimly struggle through them in the (generally vain) hope that they'll improve.
Don't misunderstand me - I'm not saying that Parker's books aren't well written. They are. It's just that they all, without exception (of the ones I've read, at least) have singularly depressing endings, and that's really not the kind of book I like. He's the Thomas Hardy of fantasy authors  . |
This post makes me so thankful for my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. They all taught me if I didn't like a book I didn't have to finish it. (School books being the exception. ) If a project wasn't turning out right I didn't have to finish it. (Now that being said, my mother has the horrible bracelet I made her. What I was trying to do didn't work out so I made that one as a joke.)
If I didn't like a food, I didn't have to eat it but I did have to try it before I said I didn't like that.
Needless to say, I have no qualms about not finishing a book.
My dislike of writers is JD Robb. It seems most of her books use the same emotional theme.
