Book review: DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER.... Lesson learned.
Why this book you ask? Well, I will tell you a little story of how this book crossed my path. It started out as an innocent idea. A Book Themed Baby Shower, who wouldn't love that! I scoured the Internet, I camped out at book stores, traveled around the world in search of perfection, for the party. I had almost given up on my search, when a glimpsed a title, that couldn't possibly lead me astray... Or so I thought. Look at the title, no really look at it. Dragons Love Tacos. Who doesn't love dragons, and who doesn't love tacos? This is fantastic; a baby shower gold mine, if you will. Without a second thought, I placed my order. Waiting the two days, for my prime shipping, was hell on my nerves. When the parcel arrived, I was like a child, on Christmas morning. I flung open the door, grabbed for the packages, and almost forgot to say thank you, to the mail man. The gentleman, that he was, politely walked away, knowing I had no time for small talk. I slammed the door, raced to the table and proceeded to tear apart the cardboard box, that was keeping me from my beloved prize. Yes, I was I love with a title and a cover. I anxiously sat down ready to read this book, this almighty treasure, this holy grail of baby shower planning gone right. As the binder cracked, I got that all to familiar chill running down my spine. I was in heaven. Nothing could ruin this moment. And then I started reading... Tears forming in my eyes as each word came into focus. This was crap, this was the worst book I have ever read, I could throw up the alphabet and make a better story line then what I just witnessed. As the tears fell, emotions were quickly changed to anger... How could I have been fooled? Was I this naive? This book could have been so much more than it was, it could have had substance, character evolving moments, a plot... Alas, none of that happened. 20 pages of repetition about dragons and tacos... Parties and spicy salsa (dragons hate spicy salsa).
Please everyone take note, do not support such dribble. If you know the author, send him condolences, because he is dead to me. This book is dead to me, all because I judged it by a title and a cover.
