I guess a while back there was a deal where you could download a copy of a newer book (Giving Chase
) for free to read on the various Kindle applications. Since we not only have iPhones, but also an iPad, we use the Kindle app quite frequently (Spencer especially. I prefer the "feel" of a real book). At any rate, he downloaded it because it was free and mentioned on a deal website he frequents. I innocently stumbled upon said download and decided to start reading. I made it through the first chapter, thoroughly enthralled in the story line, but wondering why it was so badly written. Being the impatient person that I am (I used to read the last chapter first because I couldn't wait), I looked it up on Amazon to learn a little bit about it. I've included the link above for your reference as well. Turns out said book is a romance novel. Not only that, it comes with an "explicit content" warning. Needless to say, I stopped reading and un-downloaded (is that a word? it should be) the book as fast as you can say "Mississippi." So there you go. I may be the only person in recorded history who mistakenly began reading a romance novel, got drawn into the story even though it was badly written, and the voluntarily put it down once I figured out what it was. I guess I can't really recommend (or caution against) this book since I didn't really read that much of it, but I can only guess based on the warning that it's definitely not my thing. If it's your thing, the first chapter had me hooked so I guess that's good for this type of genre.
