[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the Shopaholic books by Sophia Kinsella?

WAY too fluffy for me! I like bestsellers, but they need to be a bit more meaty than that.[/quote]

It is adorable that you think Jodi Picoult novels are more "meaty" than the Shopaholic books.

Seriously, the PP who asserted you would like books that have been made into movies with familiar actors is correct.  [/quote]

Have you read both? Dr. Seuss is more "meaty" than the Shopaholic books. [/quote]

Yes, I've read both.  Jodi Picoult writes hackneyed, formulaic commercial fiction that is the literary equivalent of a Big Mac.  A female Dan Brown, if you will.  If you don't notice the bad writing, I can't explain it to you.

My point is that on a scale of fluffy books I think the Shopaholic series is so much more fluffy and empty than Jodi Picoult that it manages to make Picoult's writing seem meaty by comparison. Picoult is entertaining. Shopaholic made me feel like I lost brain cells reading it.[/quote]
