My ramblings on mostly all things related to the books I'm currently reading. I'm Southern, I use (...) way too much when typing, I think my brain is my best quality, and I could not function without caffeine. I'll also throw in a little bit about what's going on in my world when the mood strikes...you're welcome.

Book 40 - After Alice by Gregory Maguire
I have a high school diploma, a bachelor's degree in Chemistry, and a master's degree in Forensic Science. I do not say that to brag, but rather to state, that even with all of that education, I still do not feel I was smart enough to read this book. I confess, I had to look up some of the words. I had to trudge my way through complex descriptions, imagery, and wild ass tangents that I honestly feel were not fucking needed. It took 4 fucking pages to describe Ada falling down a mother fucking hole. FOUR. FUCKING. PAGES! Dude...cut it out.
Short, sweet, and to the point? I'm so glad I'm done with this book. It's a fantastic concept and could be great if done by someone else; but I seriously dislike having to read a paragraph a couple of times in order to understand what I just read. It's supposed to be a leisure book, but instead I just feel exhausted. My brain hurts.
If you're a Maguire fan, God bless you and I'm sure you'll love it. As for me though, not so much.
Moving right along...
