Title: Every time I see this book, I throw up a little in my mouth.
Review: I'm a book lover. I respect books as the wonderful gifts they are, and am usually the kind of person who frowns at someone else for a cracked spine or dog-eared pages. That's just me, obsessive compulsive about books, like Cervantes' Translator character in Don Quixote.That being said, I've never had a stronger desire to rip something to shreds as when I was stuck reading "The Secret History of the Pink Carnation" by Lauren Willig. I like historical fiction. I enjoy it even when it isn't accurate, so long as it is written well. But this book isn't even close. It's insulting, as in, I can't believe they publish this pooh. There's a place for writing that is this bad. The internet.To sum this up, Pink Carnation is comparable to bad fanfiction. Find some good fanfiction online and save some trees and money by not buying this book.
