#ShapeOfWater
blurb

The Shape of Water | Guillermo Del Toro, Daniel Kraus

I had a five hour plane ride home so I used some of that time to watch the movie. And while it was pretty close to the book I ended up not liking it as much as I thought I would. I still recommend people watching it because Del Toro is a master director and writer and the production (the creature) were gorgeous. #shapeofwater

Mehso-so

#NetGalleyDEChallenge #NetGalleyTBRAttack Book 5

This book is not for everyone. It might be categorised as Romance, but it is not. I'd say women's fiction fits better,since it actually thrives from the MC's obsessions. Lucy, the MC, is not a very likeable character, she's brutally honest and uses pretty vulgar language.

I'm giving it a So-So because I struggled through this story, it was just too vulgar to me.

Read the German edition.

Cinfhen I‘m getting #ShapeOfWater feels and I did NOT enjoy that one 🤷🏼‍♀️so I‘m taking a pass...thanks for your review 🧜‍♂️ 7y

julesG @Cinfhen Just read the blurb of Shape of Water, I guess it's less vulgar than Pisces. In Pisces the lady gives detailed information of how she prepares for anal sex with a stranger. That was so TMI OTT, it was plain gross. 7y
Cinfhen Ewwww, no thanks!!! That‘s not really literature 😬 7y
EKonrad Yeah @julesG @Cinfhen I was completely grossed out the entire book! 🤢 7y
LizzieLou Do you think the merman was real? I kinda think maybe he was an hallucination? 6y
julesG @LizzieLou interesting idea. Never thought about it this way. But she doesn't take any hallucinogens, does she? 6y

Eeeeeek!!!! This is more gorgeous than I had hoped for! This book, even outside the story proper, is just sexy! It was worth the wait! I‘m not going to post any of the illustrations because they are so beautiful and so central, they would need to come with their own spoiler alert. #shapeofwater #preorder #beautyinbooks

rubyslippersreads I'm planning to reward myself with a trip to the bookstore after the dentist on Thursday. 😬 7y
BlameJennyJane @rubyslippersreads I‘m sure you will fall in love with it! Enjoy! And a trip to the dentist deserves a reward! 7y

JoeStalksBeck This is a remake of Splash? 7y
BlameJennyJane @JoeStalksBeck that thought actually hadn‘t even occurred to me! Splash was a childhood favorite for me. There are some similarities- a sort of who-could-love-a-fish thing... but there‘s a lot more depth (pun?) to this one. 7y
Emilymdxn Oh my god I want this book so badly! 7y
BlameJennyJane The book itself is a work of art @Emilymdxn ! The reviews of content on Litsy haven‘t been so hot but I stand by its beauty. 7y
Emilymdxn Totally I don‘t even want it for the content really it‘s just something I need to own and look at... I did the same with the crimson peak book 7y
