Reply to comment by LadyOfLindens in TIFU by getting my 66 year old father a book by Choice_Ad9265

The writing is painful. PAINFUL. I couldn’t get into it because I couldn’t get past the writing.

The movie is equally painful. So fucking cringe.

I read it and then needed to read a real book- like the Chinese food of literature.

I misunderstood on first glance and thought you needed to read a real book, like a Chinese food menu. I giggled. That was all.

Honestly, the Chinese food menu is probably a more compelling read.

At least it's a more tasteful one.

Ih that’s interesting to note as poor writing can definitely ruin a book! I’ve never read it myself and never intended in it so I hadn’t heard about the quality issue before.

Honestly it’s like poorly written fan fiction. I believe it was based on the writers twilight fan fiction but don’t quote me on that.
