I just feel (irrationally) irritated by the way she writes! I have tried to like her books, really, because everyone seems to think they are so great. But I have just finished reading one and became increasingly irritated by her style of writing, lack of any description, and rubbish plot.
Why do all of her characters speak exactly the same as each other, with the same mannerisms? Why do they never ever say 'don't, I've etc', always 'do not, I have'. I've noticed that every character does it! And always the same phrases, in particular 'safely assume' pops up on almost every page.
I just find it strange that seemingly everybody else who has read her books thinks they are great, so I must be being U, but...they are crap, aren't they? Anyone?
