I had read some great reviews of this book and added it to my wish list - but I'm not really a fan of foul language either... it's just slid down the list! PS - I'm just commenting and not entering as I live in the sunny UK! oh.

I think I've read a review about this one somewhere else--but I can't remember. Forgettable?

I too cannot abide so much bad language. My husband works in construction, where the F-word is every other word. Don't enter me. I guess I’m in the minority. I too cannot abide so much bad language.

Thanks for entering. Cindi - You're in as well. I do wish he could have picked some better vocabulary. I guess he felt that was his characters personality. Chris - I can get past a word here and there but after it being used sentence after sentence it got to me. I kept putting it down and felt obligated to finish it, but my morale won out at the end. Amy - I saw good reviews as well. Oh well, I can't give everything I read a good one and this one just didn't make the cut for me. Heather - I'd love for you to win as well. I've got you in. Kathleen - If it doesn't bother you than I'm sure you'd enjoy it. Deslily - Somebody left me a comment once saying I was a strait laced prude. Oh well, I guess I just like my reads a little more on the clean side. For me, this was overkill. TheElementary - I felt it was in excess. Using the word one time would have been enough, but it came up in every conversational passage and then some. LisaMM - I'll go over and take a look at the interview. Thanks. It's interesting to see how we all take something away from a book that is so different from somebody else. I think our life experiences contribute a lot to our reading experiences.

I gave the book away on my blog so I can't even go back and look. I read and reviewed the book (I liked it a lot), and would you believe I did not even notice the f-word being used so liberally!

Language is too beautiful to be corrupted while I'm reading. Sometimes in film it's called for, but for me, I can't deal with it in books to excess.
