Title: Steer Clear
Review: This is the worst book ever. Ever. I had to purge it from my library, even though the act of purging a book from my library racked me with guilt. It was required reading in a writing class I took, and I hated every minute of reading it. I hated it so much that I made my sister read it to see if I was crazy. She hated it as well. That was in 1998. We still hold this book up as the worst book ever written, except maybe Moby Dick.If this had been a good book, I would have liked it. I am fascinated by the medieval period, and tend to gravitate toward books (fiction and non-) about that era. I like the good murder mystery most of the time. I should have liked this book. But it was beat-your-brains-out awful. The writing was stilted and unnatural. The characters were inhumanly flat.Awful! Awful! Yuck Yuck Yuck! Do yourself a favor and stay away. Or at least, if you really feel you must read it, go check a trash bin somewhere and I'm sure you'll find a copy.
