Helpful Score: 4
Am I missing something? Can someone please tell me what it is? Why is the front cover of this ARC covered with wonderful blurbs? Why is the back cover the same? Why are there three and a half pages inside (three of them filled to the brim) with wonderful blurbs? Someone tell me because I'm not seeing it.
I rated this two stars because I did finish it although that's not a huge feat considering I did this in one evening only picking up the book three times. If I started listing all the other things I did in between I'd be here for hours so I won't. Let's just say it's super fast. And who wants to know the reason for that? YOU?? Oh good. Because there's nothing to it.
It kept me going because I wanted to see how Kyle dies at the end. I have to be straight up here. That's the only reason. But even that wasn't anywhere near as climactic as they made it out to seem. Where is the excitment? Where is the good writing?
Kyle is speaking straight at the reader which is nothing else but annoying in my opinion and when you through in a few one sided convo's I think this book needs a straight jacket and a trip to the looney bin.
Note to publishers: There is a certain line to be drawn when hyping a book. If you are not SURE that the book is "gut wrenching" (what?), "stunning" (where exactly?), "unforgettable" (lmao), and "outstanding, original, haunting" then don't shout it to the world. This is nothing if not medicocre yet it's thrown at people like it's life-changing. Just in case we have some slow learners out there - you create a desire for a bang and people want a bang. You don't deliver said bang people get annoyed. In the words of my five year old: Get it? Got it? Good.
