My Thoughts
Okay so I got bamboozled
into buying Shelter by Harlan Coben after reading the sample chapters online.
Some of the content was just so inappropriate that my jaw dropped and I can’t
even pick my lip up off the floor. For a YA book, the scene at the "Plan B Go-Go Lounge" in
which a teen was admitted with a fake identification was just preposterous. Do I need to say anymore? I
can’t believe I had to DNF two books in one weekend. My only advice is to
consider the target audience…..
