A Disturbed Girls Guide to Curing Boredom was a very entertaining, well-written book. It is very difficult to put the book down once one begins reading it. For the most part, the book is quite realistic. The character dynamics are wonderful, and the plot has plenty of action-packed twist and turns. The only negative thing I have to say about the book is that is lacked some continuity in parts. The largest of the continuity problems being that, in the beginning, the main character states that sheThis book is seriously fucked up. Ok the clue mabye in the title but seriously disturbing is defiantly the word I'd use to describe Hannah harker and the things she does. Hannah harker is bored with her BORNING life and borning job so seeks out thrills In some sick ways.
Zeitgeisty? Is that a word? Can I have it anyway? Because James Howell's 2011 novel is zeitgeisty as hell. It's also damned hard to categorise. I'm calling it a satire, but you could read it as a spectacularly implausible thriller if you like. That's not a criticism per se, since all thrillers are implausible - from James Bond downwards - but they get away with it through sheer panache.Hannah Harker, a young, aspiring journalist in a dead-end job at a regional newspaper, commits the modern sin
Fantastic book! Couldn't put it down :) puts those shade of grey to shame.. Highly recommended!
A great read, difficult to put down and a great action packed end
The book was like a lesbian porn in words with a murder twist but the ending was not expected I would not have ever thought Liam would have been as messed up in the head as he was. Hanna wasn't to right in the head herself. Everyone in this book was messed up.
disturbed is a tactful term for hannah harker, our chaos-wielding anti-hero of this very modern and somewhat fantastical tale. i cringed, i laughed, i gasped, i was grossed out, i scared my cat off the couch, etc. and i will read the next book.
