Okay, I know that not every book can be an epic masterpiece. I get that. But there are some things that seriously irk me about the Legend of the Seeker series. Some of these qualities just irk me in books in general. For example, I am so sick of lines that read something along the lines of:

My copy of Dune had typos on nearly every other page. And the font spontaneously changed size. And once, it had the same line printed twice in a row. Except in two different sizes. And the inside margins were *way* too small. Which sucked, because Dune is otherwise a *good* book, and I didn't appreciate being distracted.

This is why it has actually been one of my childhood dreams to be a copy-editor when I grow up. I want the magical power to fix these things when I see them!

:-( Sorry you don't like them. I feel even worse that you got three of them! The first book is the only worthy one anyway.

I don't hate them, I don't think they're very good. There's a difference. I'm entertained, and I s'pose that's the point, right? I just get annoyed with certain things. And they could probably make it a good story if they added more dimension to the characters and less of the "OMIGOSH MY HEART IS BREAKING" crap.

Since you love books so much... why don't you be journalist and write book reviews "when you grow up"? ;) See you tonight!

Silly, there can only be *one* writer in a relationship, and that is not me! Besides, a critic is someone who comments on what they wish they could do and can't.
