Review: I don't....I can't even....

I feel vaguely ill at how annoyed I became while choking down this novel. It is very probably the worst novel I've ever read or heard of. The "strong female protagonist" was over the top and overall character and plot progression was closer to horror than anything the actual novel managed. I blocked out much of the particulars but I am still confident that, etched indelibly into my mind, were, among other flagrant errors relaying natural Human interaction, people laughing at a dog going to the bathroom after their oldest male member died of a heart attack. The novel reads like the author's LSD fantasy dream. She goes out of her way to make sure her dominant female character [written in the first-person of course] gets plenty of dialogue that puts men in their place and asserts her female-derived authority over all of the goofy, mindlessly violent, useless male breeding stock... aside from her daddy, of course, who is perfect. I am affected so negatively by this novel and its terrible worldview that it is with great restraint that I avoid bashing the author directly as a person. Avoid this novel if you have even half a brain, or you're male.
