Kimberly's Capital Punishment by Richard Milward
Did not finish book.
1.0
I DNFd at pg 77. This book is a physically draining experience and I hated every second of it.
Initially I was intrigued by the premise of this book, and in a time before I started consulting goodreads for advice before starting books, that was the reason I picked it up. A choose your own adventure novel? It was something I'd never heard of before and something I really wanted to experience.
I started reading it last year but stopped because. I don't think it was because I hated it - I was in a pretty awful living situation and I read hardly anything at all in 2014. So I decided to give it a second chance because I thought maybe it would be better when I was happier.
NOPE! Wrong. The book was still absolutely terrible. Kimberly is a horrible character, but she's not a likeable villain like most horrible characters. She's just a terrible person. She bullies her boyfriend instead of dumping him like a decent human being. The last 'chapter' I read involved her being a NICE, altruistic person, yet she refers to the charity worker as an 'it', as though charity workers aren't even humans. Kimberly is a horrid piece of work and I'm quite frankly glad I've dumped her, which is far more than she deserves.
