Umm...how many of you guys have read these books...and by that, I mean, read what's inside them? o.o A bit early to jump the gun...but, then again, arguing on the idiot makes people look stupid.

I suggest the following remedy:

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


They should do that with the African American urban books as well. Never seen such crappy writing in my ENTIRE life.

Burn baby! twisted

Unfortunately, I have that book. One of my cousins gave it to me and said it was really good. I struggled reading the first couple of pages, and what I had read sucked.

It's not a bad book. I mean, yeah, there is some "Txt tlk" in there, but it's not overwhelming, like: "OMG 1 day i wnt 2 the str nd thr wuz ths rly ht gi thr nd i askd hm out nd he sd no nd i wnt hm nd cryd."

It's more like, well, I haven't read it in a while, but there isn't actually that much txt tlk in there. Well, if I was to re-write the former, horrible, txt tlk in the format that this book is written in, it would be like this:

"Omg, one day I went to the store, and there was this really hot guy there and I asked him out and he said no and I went home and cried."

Sometimes there is puncutation, or a couple uncapitalized words, I forget if there are any misspellings or not... run-on sentences, probably. But it has a decent storyline, I guess.
