Literary Snark: June 2009

Betsy Burke

Like a bad Harlequin romance, only twice as long and with so much dreary exposition about fundraising and the environment that it's less than half as interesting. Help.

What Our Tags Mean

Reviewed books are in the following generally accepted bookstore categories:
fiction, non-fiction, clasics, chick lit, romance, mystery, fantasy, scifi, biography, teen, kids, and whatever other categories litsnark reviewers choose to go with.

good - we liked it

squee - we really liked it

snark - we did not like it...or maybe we did, but we were feeling snarky when we wrote our review

snarklet - brief preview of snark to come

meh - it illicted neither happy sounds of squee, snippy bits of snark, nor the desire to bother spending much time writing about it

decent - much the same as meh, except that it was actually a decent read, we just don't feel like reviewing it

Books are rated on a scale of 1 - 10, 1 being completely deserving of ire and snark, and 10 being utterly squee-worthy.

Classics will be recapped, to save you from having to actually read them. Unless you have to write a book report, at which point you are on your own.

Thanks for visiting Literary Snark. We're just trying to save the world. One bad book at a time.
