DID NOT FINISH: 25%

DNF..

Nah she’s definitely a racist, not just an islamophobe. And the audiobook narrator nearly made me lost my hearing from all the screaming (which doesn’t make sense since a phone or a door bell rings and she starts screaming, it seems to me that these were added as a sort of a groan in the book not a scream).

As for the things I heard that made me want to stop:

1. Using “oriental” to describe a Filo man
2. “Not Muslim I hope. I don’t think you find much forgiveness in a faith that lops people’s hands off for stealing bread buns.” And this is a direct quote 😶

Yeah I’m not interested in getting hearing loss from this audiobook. So I decided to go through the last book since I have it and will be donating it this week if I don’t like it. Most probably I won’t keep them around.

I didn't enjoy the sequel as much as the first but it was still an nice read. I didn't like how the plot seemed relatively the same and the outcome was the same but there were enough differences that made the book keep reading.

The Bridget Jones books are equally interesting and fun. The main character makes me feel normal!
