<From The Wall, Friday, October 24, 2008 >

CD, hurled Enchanted again by: Nancy Madore against The Wall.
The reasons were:

"Nancy Madroe writes erotica with wit, empathy, and passion." -Erotica romance Writers states on the book. However, I found no wit whatsoever in the two stories I skimmed since I couldn't bring myself to actually read them in their entirety. WIT- There wasn’t any in either story I skimmed over. EMPATHY- In one story, the woman kills her lover and sets up her husband to take the blame for it. In the other, a woman has a hex put on a one-night stand lover to make him fall in love w/her and when he finally does, she realizes that he isn’t what she wants and leaves him w/o breaking the hex she had put on him. So, I’m sorry if I don’t agree w/the Romance Writers on their view of empathy. And lastly….PASSION– If you find beating a woman black and blue before the man has intercourse w/her, than that’s your prerogative. I find that extremely disturbing! I will be returning this book and getting my money back. Personally, I think whoever edited this book should be fired since he/she can't tell a good read from a bad one and it made it to the bookstores. The cover cathes the interest but the author isn't good enough to keep it and what a waste of money and time spent on something that many will end up returning for a better read.

I, ,
just want to add:

Characters remaining:
The rule is still to hurl books not people. If you don't like this rule and want to rant against Slake, just email slake@slake.com.
