Boring and Ridiculous

Such a waste of money. I wish I could get my money back. Wasn't even close to being funny or entertaining.

This is a stupid book.  I got about half way through and stopped reading.  Blech.  Stilted language and not one character to root for.  The main character (Jane McGuire) is petulant, rude and for all her "worldliness" is very childish.  She seems to be constantly stamping her beautiful little foot and uttering "Damn you!!!"  She insists on doing as she pleases and all the responsible adults around her roll over, declare that she knows best, and allow her to do it.  And she is such an irresistible "woman" that 34 year old Mark Trevor salivates over her (this part is just weird) as do almost all of the other male characters.  And she is portrayed to be so much older than 20 year old Jock and 23 or so Mario.  Puh-lease.  Oh, yeah.  Ya gotta love how the ridiculous plot includes ancient treasure, international terrorism, and numerous references to 9/11 and Homeland Security.  Ooohh.  This is my first IJ book and surely my last.  I got to page 250 before bailing on it.  What was the publisher thinking?

Obnoxious, simplistic, boring characters. Dialogue by 6th graders? Playing a joke on adults? Truly ridiculous. Silly development of
plot. Combination of 1930s radio soap opera & the Food Channel.  I read beyond p. 10 ONLY for info on Central Park. Painful way to learn about Manhattan though. When authors think they have to dumb down for mass audience, that doesn't mean silly rush job.

I think I skipped every-other word just to get through this book.

Not sure I could even tell you what it is about.  It made little or no sense and was completely unbelievable.

Save your money and time.

I found this book to be incredibly boring. I didn't even want to finish read it. It is about a group of anthropomorphic animals, which the author makes appear really stupid and petty. I just cannot take such a book seriously. This book is a waste of time and paper in my opinion.

Without a doubt one of the worst books I have ever read. Not only is it badly written and badly edited, but the storyline itself is boring, really just an exercise in hate from a man who married the wrong woman. He says he doesn't hate women, but some of his stereotypes in the book would belie that. It is just a very boring story, that I think the writer thinks is funny but just isn't. it smacks of trying too hard to be funny. It is far fetched at times (for example he would have us believe that he is too big to fit into their tiny toilet and so he has to pee from the hallway - however i assume he manged to make it in there for number twos??? - speaking of his size - he repeats over and over that he works out at the gym - we get it already, you think that you are hot and fit). This couple apparently shower together to save water costs, and hate every second of it, but manage to waste money on various luxury items in the next sentence, it makes no sense and you will have no sympathy for either character. Don't waste your money buying this, it is self serving and annoying.

This 'book' is ridiculous and stupid. My review may contain spoilers

I read this book via kindle unlimited and it is so bad I feel I should be refunded for my time.

The h almost instantly tells the the H that she doesn't sleep with football players and what does she do a few moments later.

The H has an ex that out their daughter in hospital and is a drug addict, what does he do a few moments when after not seeing her for years - talks about how he is attracted to her.

The H daughter goes missing. What do h and H do - have sex just after finding out and than again in the way to find her.

Amazon should not publish anything by this writer again if this is the sort of rubbish that is going to be written

Ugh. Not only is it REALLY boring, but the characters are all garbage, and the world building makes no sense. There is nothing worthwhile in this book, unless you like shallow characters and a world that just makes no sense. To the author, you don't need to remind the reader of the premise at the open of every chapter. The CONSTANT, POINTLESS BICKERING of the female caricatures of tropes don't let you forget about the stupidity of the setting for a moment. Gods, I wish I could have the time I spent slogging though the first 40% of this book back.

Boring and super unrealistic. I love fantasy and stretching the truth but this sucked. One minute he hates her, next he loves her. Then he's sweet, but also a dominant screw ball. Then random family members appear.  I love this genre but this broke my "never leave a book unfinished" rule

This book took me forever to finish. It dragged on and on. Very boring and silly. I usually like these types of books, but this did nothing to keep me interested.

A very long book about really stupid people. Most of the females sleep with a guy once and find themselves pregnant.....seriously?

The guys are  womanizers.  Everyone is sleeping with people they should not be.

WAY too many "heart wrenching" moments to even remotely be believable.

All the characters are in some way related or connected in unlikely ways and have relationships that make zero sense. I'm just SURE that after pushing her father down the stairs and almost paralyzing him, they will go on to have a "normal" relationship....right.

To be a character in this book, the females must all be incredibly dumb and have poor taste.  The men must all be amazingly wealthy.

Grace is odd. Each page tries to make her into a completely different character. Lonely, love struck, alcoholic, gossiper, leaps to conclusions based on glances and snippets of conversation, acts insane and almost commits murder, then suddenly responsible, shy, all knowing and wise, and babysitting....... all over the map. The oddest however is her attempt to make a pass at her father, AFTER she knows he IS her father. What the heck?

The part about breaking the glass and ripping the canvas on a painting is nonsensical. Oil paintings on canvas are not covered with glass.  Nor would/could Tessa begin to be able to afford to frame more than 100 paintings.

In the scene with Antonia and Ross after she damages the painting and he says he'll have to call an ambulance and she threatens to break a wine bottle and cut her wrists, why on earth did he not remove the bottle from the scene,and call an ambulance?  Personally driving her to the hospital does not get her help any faster, nor is his presence necessary there.  For a person who is as capable of doing, running and taking care of things as Ross is, his action here made no sense at all.

The utter and instant acceptance of Mattie by Tessa and the understanding when Ross starts spending time with her, when viewed from his past actions is insane.

And Adam, who on earth is Adam? He is portrayed as a loud boorish male who without any explanation, suddenly morphs into a helpful good guy.  Inexplicable.

Holly is never going to have different taste and Max hated those things. Why would she even want to be with someone who was SO reluctant to even look at her?  How could he serious consider a long term relationship with someone whose taste and thinking he does not like?

As unlikely as the 4 main characters are to have happy long marriages, they are rapidly coupled by the end of the book. Mattie however is left to raise yet another illegitimate daughter alone, while having some sort of warm and mind meeting relationship with Ross, father of child #, now husband to Tessa, so unlikely.

All in all a very long book about totally unlikable characters filled with obvious injections of over the top, "heart wrenching" scenes whose aftermath leaves them unnecessary.

"High Intensity" is the continuation of the lives first introduced in "High Energy". The simple fact that there is a continuation struck me as odd. I won't give away the ending of HE, but I could have swore their story was finished. As we discover in HI this simply isn't the case. Once again this book is a testimony that sex scenes do not make the romance. Everything about this story was absolutely ridiculous. I won't go into detail about the story because I am sure there are plenty of other reviews doing that. I will say, however, that this booked surpassed kooky and entered into the realm of silly. I got bored real quick with the antics of Zanita and Tyber by the 3rd chapter. The crazy thing is it got worse and I!!!! kept reading. I can only say that I was hoping for something better from one of my favorite authors. Considering this is the fourth sub-par performance from DJ, I am skeptical of buying any of her other books that DO NOT DEAL WITH THE MATRIX OF DESTINY. If I could give this book a 1/2 a star I would. It was that bad! If you are dying to read it for yourself. I would suggest taking a trip to the library and saving yourself a few bucks for something else more worth your time.

Not even sure why I picked this movie up; perhaps I found most of Seth Rogen's movies to be enjoyable.  Unfortunately, this movie is ridiculously outrageous and absurd.  It's a film that should be enjoyed on the pure fact that it is so stupid.  You should probably pair it with shots of whiskey or some pot.

All kidding aside, this has some funny laughs here and there and some may not even be intentional.  For some reason, I couldn't seem to pay attention to the plot either because the soundtrack just did not provide what was needed.

So what is Observe and Report about?  Some mall security cop, Ronald, trying to catch a flasher running loose harassing mall patrons and workers.  Police detective gets involved and Ronald tries to prove he is better than the police.  Unfortunately, Ronald is a loser and does everything wrong.  His miserable life is so miserable that its hard to feel sorry for him because the guy is a prick as well.

For the cast put together for this film, I'd expect more from Ray Liotta, Anna Faris, Seth Rogen, Aziz Ansari, etc.  I guess the funniest part for me was some of the cast itself.  I couldn't help to laugh at the two fat Asian twins and the Matt Damon look-alike.

Now this is a movie that you can just play in the background cause paying attention to it, is just painful!

Porup's voice and style are immediately evident and, honestly, tiring.  The plot is impossible and too ridiculous to be worth reading, and the repetitive sarcasm and "witty" satire make for an exhausting literary experience.  And it's too inappropriate for kids to read, so I can't even recommend it for youth.

People "eat air."  Food is regarded as an illegal drug.  Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I thought from the synopsis it would be a funny read. Unfortunately, the humor is completely forced and the characters were unbelievable. The heroine is a spoiled society girl, but somehow she's an expert handling three 6-year-olds? Nope, not even a little believable. She is a complete ditz. The hero is not so over-the-top but still not that interesting. I'm still trying to figure out where he got his relationship issues. Also, what's up with the excellent relationship with his ex-mother-in-law? I must have missed where they explained why she is the one in his life and not his actual parents, grandparents or even an old aunt? The pace of the book is fine, but many of the scenes that are supposed to be funny just come across as ridiculous: the intervention, climbing the tree, the first cooked meal, the slushies, the scrimmage, the second intervention.
