THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST (Emily M. Danforth) - August 21/18

What the fuck. How is this book almost as long as a Game of Thrones novel? The main character doesn't even make it to the camp until halfway through, and by then, it feels like you've already read a couple of books. Seriously, this thing is ludicrously overlong and padded out, to the extent that it actually made me angry while I was reading it. Where do you get off, writing such a long book with such a thin storyline? Get over yourself, Jesus Christ. It's too bad, too, since Danforth is clearly a decent writer and the protagonist does become a fairly sympathetic, vivid figure. * out of ****
