DNF 40%. I couldn't take any more of the main character, Emmy. Her deep offense at being mistaken for a midwife, calling it base and degrading, was more than I could take.

DNF 9%. I was looking forward to historical fiction set in ancient Egypt as it's so rarely done. Unfortunately the writing style is not for me. I found myself skimming and speed reading just to get to the meat of the story until I realized I didn't actually care for any of the characters. The best thing I read in this book was the dedication.

DNF. I've tried to pick this up more times than I can count and it's just suuuuuch a slog. I'm going to commit a massive faux pas and just say that the movies are way more entertaining, even if they're corny as hell. Oh well.

DNF at 15%. Disgustingly insulting stereotypes abound. Rape, almost rape, just rape everywhere all the time. A main character you can't stand. She goes from desperately wanting to escape to literally saying back to back "I'm your virgin!" and "Hurt me! Hurt me as I want to be hurt!" in the span of a few pages. Him ejaculating is what causes her orgasm. Sex doesn't work like that.

I physically tossed my kindle aside while saying out loud, “Ewww get away from me.”

Unnecessary drama. I should have stopped reading right when Windhawk didn't straight up explain that he wasn't the one who attacked Joanna's wagon train. It was mentioned earlier how good his English was but he couldn't just have a conversation with her?

While I got pretty far, I just lost interest.

At the end of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and less than 15% of the way into Girl Who Played With Fire, Lisbeth is barely recognizable as a character and it completely put me off.

DNF at 36% and I'm quite astonished I got this far seeing as how rapey it is.

My lady parts tingle.
This man in like catnip for my vagina.

I realized that reading about a zombie badly kissing a living girl grosses me out... blegh!

DNF 2.2% I'm cringing that I already know this won't be for me.

I went into this thinking it would be a bit like Waterworld, but with nonstop rain. It's not. There seems to be plenty of land left. An older guy and a teenage girl manage to go from land to land almost every day in a run-down canoe. Why don't they have a better boat? Everything's wet and soggy but there's still enough wood to make fires. How is this possible?

We aren't going to get enough science to satisfy my requirements to keep reading. I can't suspend my belief so much as to tolerate that she just doesn't care enough to ask or try to figure out what happened to the world to make it rain constantly. She doesn't even seem to care about the one person she's relying on in life.

Chace is an asshole. I hate him. I hate this book.

Guy walks away from his upset friend without even saying anything to kiss a strange girl. Nope.

I spent most of my time frowning while reading this. Too many questions of “why?” or extreme skepticism. The vibe of this is social commentary, but the message isn't clear.

Also, the characters suck. I hate Cal and I hate Frida even more. If anyone shouldn't have survived whatever the hell happened it's her. Cal I could see actually making it with some struggle.

I was hoping I'd be one of the few who liked this, but I'm not. I can understand the low-ish votes and semi-negative reviews.

I have no idea what the hell is going on. This needs a stiff rewrite so it actually makes sense.

Omg get over your hangups and just sleep with the guy already you angry girl.

I'm assuming the plot is the playboy reforms himself to fix the broken girl so they can fall in love. I'm more interested in playboy's sister. She seems super sweet and I bet there's something going on with her. But I'm not so interested that this is holding my attention.

The premise of a sexually-transmitted plague is pretty interesting and the writing was fairly good. I just couldn't figure out what this book was trying to be. Is it a zombie book? Maybe. Is it erotica? Definitely not so far. Is it horror or thriller? There were a couple scenes of tension, one of them pretty unnerving, but the rest of the time I just wasn't feeling it much.

I honestly got tired of everyone asking the main character what's going on, like she's supposed to know. She doesn't know anything either! Stop hounding her just because she leaves to go check on a friend or overhears something you all somehow slept right through.

There was no connecting with the main character either. In fact, I kind of disliked all the characters except for her brother-in-law. Everyone's either a stereotypical asshole, slut, or having a quarter life crisis. What a mess. I'm just going to hope they all die in the plague while the brother-in-law saves his wife and two kids and gets out of small town hell.

I got to about 19% of the way in and realized I don't need to read this. The author even says not everything is 100% factual and I don't need to read a book that possibly sensationalizes Trump or anyone around him. These people are evil all on their own. There's no reason to exaggerate except to possibly cause a stir and make more money.
