If I wanted an entire page describing how blue and beautiful is the sky, in the middle of a police chase, I would rather read poetry.
If you want to kill yourself and stab your eyes out, read "The Iron Tree" by Cecilia Dart-Thornton. Or you can just read the reviews on amazon (one of mine is on there).

Worst. Book. Ever.
