Query: Annoyed....

Annoyed, that's how I felt while reading these books. I didn't realize I was reading two short stories but I made it through the first book, ok. I was having a hectic time and the no brainer novel was on my mentality level. When I got to the second novel, which came as a surprise - that there was a second one, I expected a repeat of the first one so I read on. I could not believe how boring, predictable and implausibly of this book. There were no descriptions of any of the characters other than observations such as, 'he wiggled his eyebrows to show his interest'...lame, just lame wording like that. The slang came from the 1800's and I just could not believe this author was actually making a living writing books such as these. That's it. I feel better now. I needed to vent the fact that I feel you have to be under 10 or over 90 to appreciate this / these books.
