Title: OES in a book?
Post by: Masiakasaurus on December 15, 2013, 01:40:02 PM

I read a youtube comment recently on OES. Someone said that he was listening to the song because his favorite book character had the lyrics tattooed on his body (or something like that).

Does anyone know anything about this?

Googled it and came up with this. The book title is actually "On every street" and the author's name is Karina Halle. I found it here...

Ah! The same book appear on this site:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17230557-on-every-street

There are a few very confusing reviews, which I think suggests that the "bad guy" has the lyrics tattooed on his body.

It seems like the book is some kind of sex novell (I get that feeling from the reviews) aimed at women? It always makes me happy when you find MK or DS in unlikely places  :)

Yup...trashy 'romance' novel. It's hard to believe that people actually make money writing garbage like that  :disbelief. I'm in the wrong line of work :lol

Haha, then it probably isn't my kind of book :lol! I'm getting a "Twilight-fans"-vibe from the reviews  :-\

Maybe MK will read it and be inspired to write a song. *head explodes*

Oh my gosh.  I just went to the goodreads link.   Hard to believe people make money writing this stuff, you say?     Hard to believe people PAY money for this stuff.   I scrolled down looking at the comments that included lines from the book.    I will not judge. . . . I will not judge. . . .  I . Will. Not. Judge. . . . .

I never knew some people actually use pictures of real people for the charachters in the books they read.
