Book Review of The Bridges of Madison County

The Bridges of Madison County
reviewed on


Every bad thing you've heard about this book is true.

Horrible. Pure rubbish. It's safe to say that I lost multiple IQ points as a result of reading such a poorly imagined and written novel.

Its saving grace is its brevity. I finished this book because I wanted to see if it was in fact the worst book ever written. I'm not sure if it wins that prize, but it's definitely right up there in quality - or lack thereof - with Nicholas Sparks' "The Notebook".
