Why, you ask do I keep subjecting myself to this series when I clearly can't stand them anymore? Well, I really liked the first few. And for a while I kept hoping that they would get better again. No such luck. The main character just gets more and more unlikeable. I am tempted to root for the bad guy after a while. She has zero communication skills, never learns from her mistakes and treats anyone who cares about her in a terrible manner. These books seem to be written on autopilot without a book doctor anymore. Some serious plot editing would be nice.

I keep reading these books now, because I always have to read something, and my mother-in-law always has them on hand at her house. When I am stuck without a book, they are quick, if unsatisfying fodder.

Abbreviate to POO and it is all the clue you need. Egregious main character and author. Take text books and right rubbish.
My jerry springer author.

An appalling end to an appalling book.

If only I had a limp beer to hand.
