> "Experience he best-seller "Love meets Law" ! A mesmerising tale of a brave, transgender woman fighting against the supremacy of the white privileged CIS scum, while trying to find love. Gape at its kafkaesque, realistic potrayal of the struggle of a poor, opressed, defender of justice. Truly a masterpiece of importance, unmatched in its significance since Ulysses."

Don't know about books, since I don't read book reviews, but "avid" when someone uses it to describe their reading is a bit irritating.

Also, anyone who brags about swallowing books up whole as if it's a speed-reading contests.
