Planet Janet

This is a book about a British girl, Janet Foley, who is 16 and going through a dark phase. She calls her mother the Mad Cow, and she has a psychotherapist for a father. The book is also written in an unusual style in which certain words will appear in bold print and in different, usually fancy fonts.

Unfortunately, that's about all I can say good about the book. It is very rare when a book proves so boring to me that I don't bother to finish it, but this is one of those cases. After reading around a third plus of the book, I found that I just had absolutely no desire to try and slog through the last two-thirds.

I found what I did read to be horribly boring. It's usually written in a diary style and usually that will be interesting, but not in this case. I didn't find any of the characters interesting at all. I didn't find what was going on to be that interesting. One of the very, very few books that I have given up on.
