I was set to review John Ringo’s Tiger by the Tail today and… I couldn’t. I literally had such a bad review mentally written that I couldn’t bring myself to actually do it. I know the Paladin of Shadows is a really “silly” series (okay, Ghost is… the others following weren’t that bad), but Tiger by the Tail takes the absurdity to an entirely different level.
I need to get it done this week, though. I don’t think I’m going to be able to get through Kevin J. Anderson’s Hidden Empire. It’s very, very dull. And if I don’t finish a book, I don’t review it. Pretty simple, really.
I also am in the midst of writing this… rant is the only thing I can really call it. It’s a race-based thing, so it should be pretty volatile. The downside is that a lot of people will be offended, because I (for one) am tired of hearing “well, they’re a minority, so they should get bonus points for apply.”
Really. Hate. This.
Anyway, back to writing. I have to get The Gods Anointed out by June and I really am starting to believe that this piece of fiction has been the toughest thing I’ve ever tried to write.
This is why I never commit myself to writing a review. Life is too short to spend time on books I don’t like.
