Time to stop wasting my time

So I stopped reading Tanith Lee's White as Snow last night. Notice I didn't say "finished." I didn't finish the book. I got about 1/3 of the way through, read the last couple of pages, and just stopped. Ugh.

I thought I was use to the way, as Terri Windling puts in the foreword, The Fairy Tale Series seeks to "reclaim" fairy tales from children. In other words, these people want to make these stories "adult." You know how these authors do that? By adding sex, blood, dark twisted sex, sex, more dark twisted sex, horror, sex, murder, sex, more sex, oh and did we mention SEX? Right. Never mind that you can make a book horribly adult without spilling a drop of blood or even alluding to sex. That's too hard. These authors go the easy route, and I totally understood what I was getting into.

( Or so I thought. )

At least they are cooperating

It's always interesting when your characters decide to make with the porn on page five of a story.
