Helpful Score: 10

This was definitely a book that I trudged through. Books I love I often breeze through; books I don't care for are skimmed or flipped. This was a book that I so wanted to like, but it simply didn't capture me.

The writing was difficult because there was too much of it; too many metaphors and too many excess words. It was beautifully descriptive, but the cover's declarations of 'dazzling' and 'devilishly clever' are certainly not ones I agree with.

It would have been a lot more likeable if I found a way to connect with the characters, but everyone seems horrible and false, utterly unsympathetic. There simply wasn't anything in the book for me.
