My fellow b3tans, I need some advice
My boss lent me a book to read.
Clean Cut by Lynda LaPlante.

It bored me senseless, so I haven't finished it. She however, proper bummed it. I've had it for a few weeks now and I think it's about time I gave it back as I have no intention of finishing it. The thing is though, I'm worried she's going to quiz me on it.

What should I do? Should I be honest and tell her I thought it was shit and I couldn't be bothered to read it (I know this will hurt her feelings and as much as she annoys me I don't want to upset her) or should I just say yeah it was ok and hope she doesn't ask any questions? I've been trying to find a synopsis online but as it's a murder mystery no where has the ending!

There was only one bit of the book I enjoyed, I don't think it was meant to be funny but it made me laugh...

'Look at me,' she said. Then: 'Just you damned well look at me, Detective Chief Inspector James Langton!'
He looked up into her face.

Imagine that kind of passion for 503 pages and I think you'll see why I disliked it so much.
