Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I started reading these because of my wife, who enjoyed the first 4 books and laughed her way through the rest of them, until this one. So the good: -This book actually does have a plot. -Zombies. -Less than half of the book was Anita enjoying her collection of men. -There were not pages and pages of clothing and hair descriptions. -Edward The bad: -For the first 200 or so pages, any line Anita said had at least a paragraph of introspection or plot exposition to explain why she said it. -If you cut out the very redundant descriptors, the book would probably be 100 pages shorter. We get that Nathaniel has lavender eyes. It's still as silly as the first time and doesn't become less silly after the 15th time you mention it in a single book. We also understand that a lot of these men are very tall. Also, you don't need to remind all your readers every couple of pages that someone is a sociopath. -Serious inaccuracies that could have been prevented with just a little bit of research. The worst: -I'm a guy, and I was insulted by the gender stereotyping in this book. This was what caused my wife to close the book halfway through and say "I'm DONE". If this were written by a man, a lot of women would be very offended by the constant sexism e.g. "fights like a girl" or "I screamed like (fill in the blank) girl" or using female body parts as insults. It was bad enough when Anita was just trying to prove she was a really hot woman who was really just one of the guys, but this book is full of phrasing that is incredibly misogynistic. It also completely objectifies men. The absolute worst: -After the point my wife gave up, there was one of those scenes. Except this one was "edgier" in a completely irresponsible and unsafe way. The graphic scenes are part of the series now, as much as the people who liked the first few books may hate them. This one may have gone too far even for the people who enjoy those scenes. I wish that I could say something funny about this book. It's not funny, it's tragic. What could have been an awesome series featuring a strong female role-model has turned into something else completely.
