Book Meme - Day 07

Day 07 – Least favorite plot device employed by way too many books you actually enjoyed otherwise

Uh. I think that's got to be when romance overshadows the actual plot, when everything has to include romance for be of any worth, even when it wasn't necessary at all. Sometimes, romance--and the human connection it entails--adds depth, but most of the time it's handled very badly and just included there for the sake of drama or to prevent a reading of the character as non-heterosexual, which doesn't usually work, heh, ugh.

Also, the Everyone Must Hook Up With Everybody Else irritates me so, specially when it's a Last Minute Hook Up and there's no build up whatsoever to it.

That applies to all media, not just books, btw.

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Aunque ahora me pregunto: ¿qué libros/películas, a tu parecer, manejaron romance bien?

La noti de esta respuesta me llegó a la carpeta de spam =/

Wow, interesante y en muchos casos estoy de acuerdo contigo. Lo de Arthur/Gwen no me gustó porque me estaba gustando antes de que lo forzaran.

Quería ver Pushing Daisies pero se me fueron un poco las ganas luego de que la serie fuera cancelada. Supongo que ahora sí podría verla :o

Ahora sí me llegó o/;;

Sí, a mí me gustaban más esas interacciones también, y una de las razones por las que me disgustó Arthur/Gwen fue porque se fueron perdiendo =/

La veré cuando termine TFA /o/
