Bitten by Kelley ArmstrongMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
1 star on my scale is a book that would actively advise against reading. I did not finish this book.
The book suffered from two primary problems.
1) A majority of the story occurs within the head of the main character.
2) As a result, there are lengthy sections of exposition. And a lot of that was about her "feelings". The cardinal rule of "show me, don't tell me" comes frequently into play.
I ended up tossing this book because the main character exhibited beliefs that were misandrist and more than just a little bigoted. Both attitudes were irrational even within the context of the story.
I bought the book because they turned this into a TV series. The TV show wasn't good enough for me to continue watching. But in my experience, the book is always better than the movie/TV show.
Except this time.
