Okay, now I have finished that absolute terror of a book, I shall blog about it one last time and then erase it from my mind forevermore. Ugh. Traumatizing. Finnula was absolutely pathetic. She's a bloody huntress who doesn't hunt anything except for one bloody rabbit and GUYS. Except for the last part, which would have been pretty cool if that idiot Hugo hadn't barged in all macho. She had it under control, dude! I mean, Jamie wasn't even under knifepoint anymore and she had just punched one enemy and kicked another over, how is that not under control? You just have to be the overprotective superpowerful bf and not have Finnula take all the glory. Yeah, that really made me like you, Hugo. You suck. I don't even see what's so attractive about you. You're like a rock. A rock with chest hair and a shitty personality. You don't even sparkle, for goodness sakes. You just come in and leer at the main character and try to take away all the defining characteristics of people around you because you're just too much of a control freak. I like Jamie dirty. I like Finnula in her braies. And you think you can order them around just because you're the guy? That's a really good way to win over your readers, dude. On the other hand, I also cannot believe Finnula. She admitted towards the end of the book that she knew that Hugo felt nothing for her but sexual attraction. So what the hell is she doing marrying him? Doesn't she know that once she gets old and fat he'll just be off leering at some other hot girl in braies? (Note to those who like Hugo: wear braies, and get ready for some rape.) The only reason he didn't cheat on her with Isabella Laroche was because she wasn't as hot, and she didn't play hard to get. Then Hugo had to get shot and have Finnula experiencing withdrawal symptoms like any other weak female character who is supposedly strong but never ever shows it in the novel, or at least when her love interest is around. And on that note, I totally do not get Hugo's intentions. He wants her to stop wearing braies and become the typical subservient wife for him, (and he decides to have sex with her to manipulate her into doing whatever she wants, which totally made me want to castrate him) but then when she actually started acting like one, he wants the old Finnula back. What the heck is your problem? You are driving me mad. Please get an STD and die. So, in summary: I hate Finnula, because she is just some desperate teenager who chose sex, riches and luxury over freedom and she's a lousy huntress who cannot even shoot the guy who is raping her. Best aim in all of Stephensgate? well she certainly aimed for the wrong guy. I hate Hugo. I don't think I have to say any more on this point. I quite like Jamie, since he is dirty, but he got really weird at the end. And he looks like his father so he'll probably turn into a big hairy rock too. I hate the sheriff. He is useless and laughs at everything. I actually prefer Isabella Laroche to anyone else in the novel. Even though she sleeps around and all, at least she has personality and guts. Killing intent helps too. Michael is just... really gross. Most of all, I hate Meg Cabot. Please think twice, if you think at all, about writing books like these which traumatize people like me and teach the rest the wrong kind of morals. This kind of book which contains premarital sex, marriage for more sex and manipulation of people through sex is actually stocked our secondary school library -.- not to mention those countless rows of black, white and red books which kill my mood whenever I see them in the racks of returned books. (Plus, the fact that our school bought so many copies yet only a few of them can be seen in the library shelves is a very scary thing. I am hoping the missing books are burned instead of being read.) Well our library does have very poor choice of books, since there is a whole shelf dedicated to Meg Cabot (or some other chick lit writer, I cannot for the life of me tell them apart) but it does have some good ones like Twisted and Bartimaeus trilogy. In the first the guy lusts after hot girl and gets her, but chooses not to take advantage of or go out with her in the end. In the second there is a hint of romance, but one of the partners end up dead before anything happens so it's all good. Plus it was a very nice death scene. All right, I am done with this. I shall swear off Meg Cabot books for now to save my few remaining brain cells. btw, let me promote this band called The City Drive. Awesome songs hahah. |
