Ridiculous sentence

This sentence was on a book I just read:

The trees rested like soft, dark blue clouds and tapering , pale, dark towers, asleep.

What is that if not ridiculous? How did it ever get published?

What book is that from?

*suppresses wave of nausea*

So these trees...they've been doing strenuous exercixe lately, and they need a nap.

And they're blue.

They're fluffy like clouds, but they're also tapering like towers.

They're dark, and yet they're pale...

Is this perhaps a book of the worst lines in written history?

*Laughs hysterically*

It's obviously that Tanith Lee (the author) has never been to YWS.

The book's called 'The Claidi Journals' and it's full of other ridiculous sentences. And it's published!

And are the trees, in fact, blue?

Tanith Lee? And there was me thinking we had a sneak peek at the next Paolini "novel".

Imagine Poalini actually wrote it good...........

HAHAHAHA! that's so hard to say with a straight face....

No, the trees weren't even blue! xD

Well, okay. That's not weird at all...

I know, so did I.

And now I'm bummed because this won't serve to further prove how much of a (insert choice word here) Paolini is.

Christopher Paolini isn't THAT bad. . . his books are just for people who have never had the experience of critiquing work ^^

And as for the sentence. . . I'm guessing the clouds part is referring to the leaves, and the pale towering part is referring to the trunks. . . . *scratches head* Right?

Is that... the beginnings of a Paolini lover?

*sharpens pitchfork*

=P

*sharpens teeth*

Let's get her, Razor.

Ahh, feeling blasphemous today, I see.

*joins angry mob*

Tanith Lee... I read her books a few years ago, and personally, I liked them. And I suppose sentences like that might slip in every book...

But still, quite a funny sentence.
