30 Day Book Meme (2014 version) - Day 7
Day 07 – Most underrated book
2010 Answer: Hard to pick
This one is still hard to answer, because I read what I want. I am a confirmed "negative review" reader, only because I find they're usually more informative.
Especially now that the Kindle lets you have access to so much more stuff, including self-published and older stuff.
So, instead of strictly "underrated", I'm going to go with one of the titles I'd never have found if it weren't for Kindle. It's a little mystery/parody called Death and the Lit Chick by G.M. Malliet. I don't think it was intended to be a strict parody, but it goes in that direction. Still the mystery isn't bad, but the book is mostly for the characters. A publisher is hosting a weekend party for its best writers, including the Lit Chick (who is a total bitch and you're not sad when she ends up as the victim). The authors are pretty recognizable jokes, although a few of them are crossed together. It was light, it was fun, it cost me ninety-nine cents.
