The Me II

I am potent whiskey

In a plain old jar.

Risk a swig of me

If you're at the bar.

A little hard to swallow,

I might be at start.

But once you've had a taste,

You'll want the scar.

The Me

I won’t change my name,
I won’t change my game.
If I could do it all over again,
It would turn out just the same.
I’d speak the same words,
I’d repeat the mistakes.
I’d even go so far,
To earn the exact blames.
It’s who I am,
And what I was born to be.
Why then must I try,
To be anyone but me?

Book Review (Bitten - Kelley Armstrong)

Contrary to what reviews say, to me, Armstrong has not done for werewolves what Rice did for vampires. The storyline is very predictable with unnecessary twists thrown in for the sake of lengthening a story that shouldn't have gone beyond the 10th page.

Armstrong delves too long in painting out everyday situations and spur of the moment incidents, that need not be explained. What I really hated were the overtly lengthy, uninteresting 'runs'. Not to mention the cold love making scenes, a failed attempt at spicing up a bland story.

Being her first effort, I think there is a lot left to be desired when it comes to style of storytelling.

The editing is also somewhat shallow. I understand that authors are reluctant to give up even a single word they've written, but that’s where the editor has to step in and help make the flow tighter.

I am yet to complete the book. I am hoping the climax will save Armstrong from being written off as a ‘me too’ writer.

Overall, very amateur! Skip if you’re over 16 years old.
