Hard Girls

This book consists of 600 pages!!! 600 uninteresting pages about prostitute been killed! One prostitute get killed is painful enough, in fact, 10 prostitutes has been killed is really painful enough to be read. With the additional of a very long and boring investigation, the story doesn't have any climax. I find it dull, long and makes you feel old.


I've survived until page 513 but still, the story doesn't have any clue, findings, climax or ready to "roll the curtain down" feeling.

It's very tired, dissapointing and boring!!! I've never read anything so boring in my entire life. Nancy Drew is way better than this!!!
