2006: #83 – The Eighth Commandment (Lawrence Sanders)

October 6, 2006July 29, 2016

Book #83 was The Eighth Commandment, by Lawrence Sanders. This book was not at all what I expected. I’ve never read Lawrence Sanders, and based on the little bit that was on the back of the book I was expecting a more serious whodunit. What I got instead was funny and lighthearted and, most surprising, featured an interesting and endearing female lead character. I hope

2006: #82 – Ruby (V.C. Andrews)

October 3, 2006July 29, 2016

This wasn’t bad, but I felt like things wrapped up a little too quickly and easily at the end. One second the girl’s getting locked up, the next, everything’s hunky dory. I’ll be interested in seeing how things continue in the next book — if it takes. Otherwise, I like it.

I really liked the heart of this book. I loved April and her unapologetic geekiness, and I liked what Dade has to say about body positivity, and that she wrote a male protagonist that walks the talk. What I wasn’t expecting was just how detailed into the fanfiction subculture this was going to go. It’s one of the few times I’ve started a book and
