Reading

[mirrorshard]

Wicked!, by Jilly Cooper (2006). Diagnosis: she's finally lost it. I first read Riders for the horses, then used to read her books for relaxation and light relief, something nice and long where the pages would just fly by. She could have been a really, really good author with some thought and care.

Found this one in the library this afternoon, now three-quarters of the way through. If you thought the earlier ones weren't full enough of Toryism, aristocracy, stereotype-bashing, histrionics, genuinely unpleasant protagonists, lubricious descriptions of underage girls, Mary Sue characters, and the nastier side of human nature, you will like this one.

I told you that you were wasting your time!

I wouldn't have been wasting my time if I'd been reading some of her other books, though!
