[quote=Anonymous]I posted this in the June "what are you reading" thread - latest DNF is Katie Gutierrez's More Than You'll Ever Know. The premise is interesting, but the characters are terrible and poorly written, particularly the crime blogger character who is incredibly immature and obnoxious. There are random Spanish phrases used haphazardly throughout the book that don't really add anything to the story. I don't have an issue with authors employing different languages in their writing; when it's done well, it can really enhance the narrative. But the author needs to put the phrase or word into the proper context, so non-speakers of the language can understand what s/he's trying to say. I shouldn't have to run every other sentence through Google Translate to get your point. [/quote]
