(2 / 5)
I wanted to see what all the fuss was about Tangled… There is a lot of fuss about this book…
Just looking at the reviews, I don’t seem to see much under 4 stars. And I see a lot of “OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS BOOK!!”
Well I didn’t love this book. I less than liked this book. Two stars for me is pretty poor, to get one it’s got to be a train wreck.
Ok what did I LIKE about this book?
The totally male POV was definitely a different perspective for the romance genre. It had it’s moments where it worked really well. Moments mind you…
It was extremely easy to read and I thought it was well written, that and the knowledge that this is the authors debut is what pushed it up to two stars for me. Yes UP to two stars.
What I hated about the book?
Drew. Yes I said it. I hated the main character! Aside from having an obvious sex addiction, he is a total moron. A completely horrible person. But of course Kate falls hopelessly in love with him… Of course…
What is it with some romance books? I love a good romance don’t get me wrong, but why do these girls who are supposed to be intelligent and self dependent, fall for these egotistical jerks? And people love reading this crap!???
When Drew first meets his love interest Kate, he had just finished getting a blow job in the bathroom of a club, from a women who he treats like garbage. Classy. Isn’t that how we all want to meet the love of our lives?
Oh but she “CHANGES” him!! He stops sleeping with anything with a pulse (eventually mind you, it takes him a fair while to stop) and wants to be with her and he gives her multiple orgasms and it’s so “ROMANTIC”….
Kate finds she is in love with him.
In the real world I think Kate would find that all she has is chlamydia.
I get it, it’s a book… A romance book. It’s not meant to be the real world. But I just can’t help but be scared for the young women reading this, who think that this is ok. That the sex crazed bad boy is going to fall hopelessly in love with them, suddenly become monogamous and live happily ever after.
And don’t even get me started on the obsessive “I want her back so bad I’m borderline stalking her at work and at home” section of the story. Cause of course that’s what any girl dreams of..?? Sigh…
Still beats 50 shades and twilight I suppose…
Do I recommend? NOPE
