Chocolate Snowman Murders (Mini Review)
I'm just writing brief comments here and checking this book of as "read" without writing a legitimate review for it. This won't be published on my blog, or anywhere other than here, so you can count it as a status update if you want to.
I just didn't like this book. The main character, Lee, had too many people obsessed with her and she herself was obsessed with passing judgment off on others. The ending was predictable and sad, but I was too angry about everything else to really pay attention to it very much.
My question, though, is why exactly is women's chick-lit, like this, so awful, boring, and judgmental? The idea has only just occurred to me as I sat down to write this brief comment. It seems to be a stereotype now that books written "for women" that are busy and don't have much time to read are usually terribly written, terribly executed, and just terrible on every level. I'm wondering why that is. Why are books like this popular with anyone?
I don't see the likability factor, especially in this one.
