Entertained Me: Low, Made Me Think: Low
I'm not going to give props to this book--not even a mention of the title or the author--because it is truly the worst book ever written, even though it's been on the NYT best-sellers' list. The author is the king of the assholes (which he'd find a great compliment) and the fact that he is making money from treating women like trash and collecting a cadre of morons that call him a hero is simply a massive blight on humankind. I can't recall how in the world his title ever got into my reading list (and I bought it because it was only a couple of bucks on Kindle), but his name will never, ever entertain these eyes again.
