I'm a cover-sucker, too. Can't tell you how many times that has bitten me in the butt, but do I ever learn???? Noooooooo. .-= Michele´s last blog ..Weekend Cooking: Hotel Room Style =-.

Too bad you didn't connect with this one but you're right the cover is great. .-= Darlene´s last blog ..Vietnam War Reading Challenge 2010 =-.

It does sound like an interesting story that could have been pretty great and thought provoking. I’m sorry it didn’t pan out The use of bad language to drive a point home shows something of the person saying it, most definitely. There should be other ways to make the point without being offensive… or maybe being offensive was the point?

The cover is lovely though.

And it is probably safe to say I won't be reading one, two or three. .-= Jenners´s last blog ..FreeVerse: Sadie and Maud by Gwendolyn Brooks =-.

I do like the cover, but I don't think this would be for me. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday 60 =-.

You're really letting the FTC down, but I for one, appreciate the fact that you're stimulating the economy and supporting the publishing industry! Sorry this book didn't work for you. .-= Kathy´s last blog ..Wondrous Words Wednesday =-.

Haha, don't you hate when the cover misleads you and you end up being disappointed? I think the back cover blurb would have turned me off, though. Doesn't sound like my kinda story. .-= Kari´s last blog ..Challenge Wrap-Up! =-.

You are right about the cover. Dreamy. This one doesn’t sound like my cup of herbal tea but I’d frame that cover…

The premise sounds great, so I’m quite sad you didn’t enjoy it – I’ll give this one a miss!

The cover is dreamy. Too bad the book didn't work out especially since the story sounds interesting. .-= Stefanie´s last blog ..DIY =-.
