But Shatter Me had way way way too much of everything (see what I did there?).Īnd story? What story? *sigh* It's about time we just opened up an entirely new genre called "Dystopian Romance" or alternatively "Romantic Dystopia", though I don't wish to be pessimistic, I'm pretty sure half the new releases of 2012 will make it into that category. I may have thought it was an interesting literary technique. However, there was one thing that for me was even more annoying than the descriptions, the similes, the strikes, and that was the stupid repetition thing: "and then and then and then." Again, if it had been used once, or sparingly even, then it wouldn't be so bad. People didn't exaggerate: it will most likely drive you crazy.
But you have no idea how bloody annoying this is to read. I actually thought it sounded interesting, unusual, especially because the whole thing is meant to be written in a notebook and I cross stuff out in mine all the time. Trust me, no really, trust me, I thought people were being overly picky when they said the crossed out sentences were annoying. WHAT? This is one example floating around in there, but every second sentence is like this! That's not even mentioning the annoying strike-outs. Until it spins around and lies with lips and teeth carved into semblance of something too passive to punch." "Hate looks like everybody else until it smiles. Shatter Me's numerous metaphors, similes, and endless descriptions just didn't make sense. I have a high tolerance level for flowery writing. For example, some reviewers thought that Lips Touch: Three Times was just a mess of bloated purple prose, whereas I thought it was one of the most beautiful books I read last year. I think there's a fine line in writing between the pretty and the purplish and different readers will define it in their own way. However, I was also prepared to allow myself to be surprised a lot of my friends loved this and one of the biggest criticisms didn't actually bother me - purple prose. Any so-called "dystopia" with a runway model on the front cover leaves me feeling sceptical. You're probably assuming - correctly - that I went into this book with low expectations. I originally gave Shatter Me two stars because that's my sort of kneejerk reaction to books I don't like, but after thinking it over for a while, I can't recall anything positive about it that would justify a rating of more than one star. This is not a novel, it is a collection of similes and metaphors, most of which do not make sense. And that was at linebacker.This is not a dystopia, it is a romance. Terrell Suggs managed to return from the same injury in 5 and a half months as well.
But to be fair, Cam Akers was playing running back, which is obviously much more demanding on your Achilles. Unfortunately for Rodgers, this year's Super Bowl is less than 5 months away. However, Rams running back Cam Akers was able to play just 5 and a half months after suffering an Achilles tear. Doctors give a range of 6-12 months depending on the injury. Recovering from an Achilles tear can take up to a year. Do the whole out charge out of the tunnel with an American flag thing again and see if it works out better next time. Just play it safe, take your time, recover over next off season, then run it back in 2024. I feel like anybody trying to return from a torn Achilles that soon is just going to fuck it up even worse, then the remainder of your career is really over. It's just impossible for me to believe that he'd be able to recover to a point of being effective in a situation like that. If he's willing to do it you'd probably roll him out there in a wheelchair over Zach Wilson.
Would you even want that as a Jets fan? Assuming Rodgers is fully planning to come back next season, would you want him to roll out there on a weak Achilles to play at 50% of his capability for a long-shot playoff run? Ok that's a stupid question, yes you probably would. Luckily you have Zach Wilson to get you to that point. Week 17? Maybe stay alive until the first or second round of the playoffs. All the Jets have to do is hover a couple games above. He said it himself to the strong orange ESPN employee wearing a tank top. Aaron Rodgers might not be done yet this season. Don't worry Jets fans, you still have a chance.
