(note: this won’t follow the traditional TT theme, it’s not a synopsis or even a review – there won’t be funny pictures or a recap – if that’s what you’re here for, you might want to stop reading now. :) )
Sookie -
Oh, poor poor Sookie. I feel like your author has let you down. I once turned to your books for a fluffy weekend read, knowing they were trashy but nowhere near worthy of being featured here. I don’t know what happened, maybe it’s me? It’s not like I ever gave any of your books more than three stars. They weren’t fantastic, but they were entertaining, damnit.
Not anymore.
I’m not entirely sure why I’m supposed to care about the mundane reality of your day-to-day life. Like, really? How many times do I need to read about your trips through the Sonic and Taco Bell drive-throughs? Do I really need to read about why you like to let your hair dry in the sun? How about cleaning the kitchen and making dinners and desserts? Where do I put my foot down?
Turns out, it’s right here. You weren’t entertaining this time, Sookie. You. Were. Boring.
[sigh]
[waves goodbye sadly]
I’d like to say that I’ll miss you, but the truth of the matter is I probably won’t. The main reason is that I can no longer remember what I found so engaging about your character in the first place.
It’s not me. It’s you.
xoxo,
