Lolly's Library’s Reviews > Hounding The Moon > Status Update

Well, at least the hamster has fun. :P I had gotten this from the library a while back and never got the chance to read it before it went back. Maybe that was a good thing...

True. I'm definitely not having fun. Don't torture yourself with this book; the only reason I'm going to see it out until the end is because I've already put so much effort into it. What a confused muddle of a book! It has so much potential, but too many plot points, a main character who is impossible to connect with or understand or really even like, and no cohesive story. Honestly, I'm not sure what this book is really about. It's just so...messy. :/

Well, that sucks. I'll take your advice, I already torture myself enough with other books, so thanks for the heads up. :) Unless a character is supposed to be unlikeable for a purpose, I really don't like reading books with characters I can't connect or sympathize with. Call me crazy (again). :|

Okay, you're crazy. But, then, so am I because I don't like reading books like that, either. Truthfully, I'm this close to saying 'Uncle' with this book. It just keeps getting worse. In the beginning, I still had hopes for it; I thought, "Well, it's not the best, but it still could turn out to be a three-star book." Several chapters in, that opinion had sunk to, "Okay, so the book isn't going anywhere and there's no real story, so maybe two stars." Now I'm thinking one star is too good for it. It just keeps getting worse the further I read; it's almost a wallbanger. And I still can't figure out what the story is about! :{

Well, it's not like it's new news that we're crazy. Unless your memory resets every five seconds or so. :/ Yeah, that's the way it goes with some books that have a great premise, which end up going nowhere and/or it's a jumbled mess. Sad, really. If only some other author had come up with it, it just may have been something good. Sounds like real a wallbanger to me. Or the alternative: a throw it on the floor, possibly have a mini-tantrum, and stomp on the book until it deteriorates into nothingness piece o' crap. I haven't figured out how to shorten that description yet, so wallbanger will have to do for now. :P

Unfortunately, it does. Who are you again? LOL ;P I just can't believe that not only did the author manage to sell this book, she also has a couple of sequels. If she had just stuck to a couple of storylines, it would've been okay. But no, she had to throw in every idea she had and the kitchen sink, too. I always thought the wiring in my brain was convoluted, but apparently not enough to understand this book. It's definitely a wallbanger, or a F.F.M.T.S.I.B. (Floor-flinging, mini-tantrum, stomp-inducing book.) :{

I don't know who I am, who are you? LOL Amazing to find a more convoluted mind, isn't it? ;D Ooh, floor-flinging, I like that. :) Although I'm not sure I can remember F.F.M.T.S.I.B. Yikes! 80

I have no idea. I've been trying to figure out who I am for years. %P Yes, quite amazing--I didn't know it was possible. LOL Well, that was the best I could come up with, as far as shortening your description. :/ I guess we'll just have to keep it in mind whenever we say a book is a wall-banger; we'll know it's really a F.F.M.T.S.I.B., even if we can't remember the acronym. ;D
