bullpoop,” Holly
Great, Stephen King, Holly = poop. We get it, ha ha ha ha, she says bullpoop instead of bullshit, in all five of the books she's in (I didn't really count--I know I have read three of the Holly books.)
She's a great character, and played by a GREAT actress in the one movie I saw. I love that actress.
But Kingman, so you always have to have scatological humor made for your favorite characters? One who farts, so he's called Fartman instead of Cartman? One picks his nose so you call him Snotboogie for the rest of his life (as pointed out in The Wire.) Jesus H. MF Christ, King.
You know your book is going to pull in some money--just stop these childish pranks in the name of all that is holy.
My prayer: I could read a Holly book next, and it wouldn't have her saying poop throughout the entire book. It's stupid, dude. If Holly was the savant-genius of deduction and all trivia that you wrote her to be would she be poopy as well?
NO. She. Would. Not!
“That there is a silent genocide of women and girls in the homes, communities and just everywhere is not a new story. That my great grandmother, grandmother, mother, mother-in-law, aunt, sister, cousin, niece, housemaid, co-worker, friend, neighbor and just about every female shares the same pain is not a new story. What is new in this story is how I stood up to say, “Never again.” Never again will a girl or woman get raped, killed, drop out of school, be harmed by our culture or be sexually enslaved. That is as long as I know about it. Never Again--not to any woman or girl again is the new story.”

“It's easier to avoid the snares of love than to escape once you are in that net whose cords and knots are strong; but even so, enmeshed, entangled, you can still get out unless, poor fool, you stand in your own way.”
