Why do I keep reading her stuff? Not a fan but keep hoping she will become a better writer. I like all the plots and monsters. Just not well-written.

I've read better. And too general. Nothing new was learned for me. Maybe for someone with less info on the bible, it might be useful.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. Nothing new in the inspiration part, but I'm impressed by how aware he is about this life and his success. Every bit of advice is grounded and relevant for most people. He's gained some respect from me.

Gross. No thought of the victims here. Just passing comments on how it affects the girls. A very narcissistic approach to a problem. I just kept reading, hoping it would change. It doesn't.
