Some of the ladies in my office have been swapping paperbacks. I have read a few of them. While some are decent stories, most are really crappy writing. And 500+ pages? What's that about? Holy mackerel, if you can't tell the story in 400, it's hard for me to stick with it.

One that I started and threw back in the pile was Yesterday by Fern Michaels. Even worse than Anne Rice.
