msjenne 's review for:

Beauty by Sheri S. Tepper
DID NOT FINISH

Something about Sheri S. Tepper's books is just too bleak and painful for me. [b:The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo|2429135|The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1)|Stieg Larsson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275608878s/2429135.jpg|1708725] was much more violent, but somehow this one just got under my skin.

I feel like she must have had something really terrible happen to her at some point, or to someone she knew, and there's this sort of grim despair that just permeates everything. (OK, I've only read two of her books, so maybe the others are all just kittens and rainbows, it's possible)
Anyway, I didn't finish this because I didn't want any more of that feeling in my brain.
