The Dogs of Rome by Conor Fitzgerald
0.5
This book was so awful, it came full circle to be inadvertently entertaining. I wrote like this when I was twelve; drawn-out step by step action, highly specific extraneous descriptions, absurd dialogue. At first, I found myself constantly eye-rolling but this quickly evolved to giggles at how badly this mediocre story was written.
Within the first twenty pages we are treated to gems such as "His bathrobe had opened but closing it seemed womanly" and "We have female officers and psychologists for that sort of thing". No doubt this book was written by a man, about men, for men- men with very low standards when it comes to literature.
I can't speak to the strength of the plot because the god-awful writing quickly grew boring and that was the only thing motivating me to keep reading.
