bad detective writing:


"Detective Bart Lasiter was in his office studying the light from his one small window falling on his super burrito when the door swung open to reveal a woman whose body said you've had your last burrito for a while, whose face said angels did exist, and whose eyes said she could make you dig your own grave and lick the shovel clean."

I've probably read about 4 or 5 of his books and have enjoyed them all. In fact, I think I actually picked the first one up after reading a recommendation from you in this thread(or possibly the thread from CS). Thanks!

Yeah, there are lots of 'bad writing' contests. That one was a winner here in Cali, 08.
I was really looking for a more recent one that was an even better example of bad, so, without being able to locate the really terrible one, that example was the very worst that I could do.

I have The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, but unfortunately haven't had time to read it. I am currently reading Managing Cisco Network Security and The Art of Deception by Kevin Mitnick.

Good one-I read it last month. A departure for Lehane, who writes great mysteries but he does an excellent job on The Given Day.

Hey Booklovers! Walmart and Amazon are having price wars on selected books being released in November. I just ordered Stephen King and Barbara Kingsolvers new releases for $9.00 on amazon.

I love James Rollins-though I haven't gotten around to his last two.

Reading Stephanie Plum series-on book two.
