I've had to give up....

[HoneyGirl]

My goodness, I have had to give up reading "Billy Brown, I'll tell your mother" - never before have I read a book which has irritated me so. Its going back to the library tomorrow, I cannot bear another word from it.

I will write a little review and give the reasons why I have given up on it.

 

I am now going to read Stranger in the House as I think it will be much more informative and reliable to be the truth.

 

Honestly - what an awful book Billy Brown is!

Billy Brown, I'll Tell Your Mother is not a book I'm acquainted with (although, prompted by this post I have rectified this just now by reading a review), however, one book I found I had to give up reading after numerous attempts was Ken Folett's The Pillars of the Earth. The book is held in high esteem by so many, and yet, I don't understand why. I found it to be tiresome beyond extreme.

I know I've seen this book at the library myself (The Billy Brown book that is) and have been tempted to get it. Now I know to avoid. There seems to be a whole section of books that thrive in libraries based on the fact that they have eye-catching titles, but are absolutely awfull books. I fell for a similar book titled " Up a tree at night in the park with a hedgehog".

 

Fantastic title I thought - it's bound to be really funny.

 

Wrong! (or Epic Fail, as my son would say)

 

Fortunately, we have this wonderful forum to "out" books like this!
