The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski


The Story of Edgar Sawtelle (P.S.)The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This story was just okay for me. I like dogs but reading about dog training over and over again was a bit much to take. I really wanted to like this book since I had heard so many good things about it, but I had a hard time getting into this one and I am so glad to be done with it.

Fifty Shades Darker (Fifty Shades, #2) Fifty Shades Darker (Fifty Shades, #2) by E.L. James
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

What a bunch of crap. This book was worse than the first one Fifty Shades of Grey. It was all about Christian and Ana and how they fall in love, blah blah blah. It was filled with so much sap and sugary dribble, one could get cavities from this book. UGH!!!

Well, there was plenty of sex in this book for sure, but it was all the same, over and over again. This author really needs a thesaurus.

We do find out why Christian Grey is the way he is but at what cost. We have to listen to Ana go on and on about how sad it is, and how fucked up it is, but.....how she'll NEVER leave him no matter what. Ana is suppose to be this beautiful, smart girl who just graduated from college with this literary degree, who reads great literature, but you know what....she is just an insecure little girl who has no life experience whatsoever and has fallen in lust with another beautiful, insecure person who has no life experience. One has money, one doesn't. This is the most unbelievable story ever written. This would NEVER happen!!!

This actually reminds me of a dysfunctional relationship I had in high school(except without all the money and expensive toys, of course.) The boyfriend is uber jealous about every person she come in contact with and possessive as hell, the girlfriend is insecure and doesn't feel worthy of his love or any love at all for that matter. And then she grows up and realizes this relationship is unhealthy and has to go into hiding to get away from the creep.

I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to read the last one or not. I can't stand reading and re-reading the same dribble over and over again. I find myself rolling my eyes and putting this book down and walking away many, many times while reading this crap. I will read a REAL book in between this one and the next though just to cleanse the pallet. I don't want to keep reading "Holy crap and Holy shit" "My fifty shades" blah blah blah over and over again. If you like that type of stuff than this book is for you. Otherwise, walk away!!!

In Fifty Years We'll All Be ChicksIn Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks by Adam Carolla
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was hilarious! I was literally laughing out loud during a lot of this book! The book is written like he talks, if you've ever listened to his radio show or podcast you will totally understand.

Granted, Adam Carolla isn't Steinbeck or any other type of literary genius by any means, but it was funny and he did have some good points about life. I loved the chapters about the worst songs ever and cutting the cords of his newborn twins. But I could have cared less about the bonus chapter about all the different sports.

Overall, a very funny book and I liked that you don't have to be a guy to appreciate his comedic sense of humor.

Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1)Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Good story, terrible writing, decent smut. Anastasia is really annoying but there is definitely something about Christian Grey that is very intriguing though. I really don't get all the hype surrounding this book but I did find it fun reading about Portland/Vancouver and Seattle since I live here. I probably will go on and finish the other two but glad that I'm getting these for Kindle via the public library and not actually paying anything for these book or I would have been sorely disappointed.
