A review by alexiconeternal
The Ardent Swarm by Yamen Manai
Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.
This is not what I signed up for. By page six there were talks of sex toys and hangovers. After sentencing a man to death, this "gem" comes up:
"That feeling of power sparked a relaxing wave inside him that ran through his body top to bottom, provoking a long, resounding fart along the way."
I skimmed through the rest to try to find a reason to continue. I found:
"Skinny ass."
Multiple instances of "come out of your shithole."
"Her ass was covered in dollars . . . the prince unglued the dollars from her buttocks and counted them slowly, licking his fingers."
"Sidi didn't stay until the end of the Roman orgy that followed . . . he felt sickened . . . disgusted for having been so naively charmed by this femme fatale."
"Come and kill me if you have the balls" followed by downing a beer that was "concluded with an impressive belch."
"Blow-up dolls and sex toys, from the highly suggestive to the crudest."
No, thanks. I'm good. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with folks who want to read this, but that certainly isn't how this book was advertised. This will be my first unfinished book in years, and I'm fine with that.
