I forgot about brown pop!
Zoey's bed ho...Yeah. I forgot about brown pop!<br /><br />Zoey's bed hopping did bug me at first, but I read an essay by one of the authors (they did a book of essays for the series, too - Nyx in the House of Night), that changed my mind a bit. Her point was that it usually not seen as okay for women to have that kind of behavior, but for men, it's not something society cares about. And that's why they did it with Zoey, to make it "okay." But they definitely could have handled it better.

And, you're correct - if Zoey's bed-hopping didn't irritate me as much as it does, her excessive use of words like "poopy" and "boobie" would finish the job. And, don't even get me started on "brown pop"...<br /><br />Thanks for the comment!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091094462938337416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507411199240448096.post-12998879650284212162012-08-21T13:25:33.590-04:002012-08-21T13:25:33.590-04:00Get out while you're ahead.

It's a mess, though. <br /><br />Like you, I think the world is really cool, and that's what I'd like to read more about. But no, the books go off in some really strange direction. <br /><br />Zoey really gets me, too. I think you spoke about her language in your last review -- I swear the authors are trying to sound like teenyboppers with her vocabulary choices. I wish the books were told from someone else's viewpoint, maybe Aphrodite's. Leeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284091494053528217noreply@blogger.com
