The Book of Hidden Things - Francesco Dimitri
I would like to start by pointing out that Elentarri warned me about this book. I didn't listen. Next time I would be wise to listen. I would have listened better if this book had been a little bit more difficult. However, it was a pretty easy read. The writing, while incredibly messed up, wasn't difficult by any stretch of the imagination.
My life is full of what the f*ck moments. This book was more than a moment. Honestly, I'm not even sure what I read. It was somewhere between a mafia drama and soft core porn. Sure that combination works out on television but when you add in a crazy mf'er who rambles on and on about "Hidden Things", you get something other than cable entertainment. Again, I'm not really sure what I just read. I definitely do not recommend it. I've already sent a text to the local librarian saying that this book should just go away. It's the type of book that's going to offend someone around here. Like bring back out the book burning (burning would be an acceptable fate for this book) brigade type of offense. Ahh....rural, red America. It's a lovely place to raise a family. I digress.
If I'm being honest, I'm not surprised this was a bad book. I always tend to get bad books back to back. This means my next read is either going to be epic or another utter disaster. There's no in between. At least I'm consistent.
