Frustrating, to say the least.

Ugh, why couldn't this have been written better? I actually liked the storyline and the characters. But because of the way the author wrote it, the reader was so detached from the story. With the overuse of had, became, and other passive filter words, the action seemed so blasé. AND, what was the obsession over baths? The character took hundreds of them! For roughing it on the road, every night she was clean. The main character, constantly over thought everything. And she "realized" stuff all the time. I just about died, when near the end, several paragraphs were used to describe the dragging of two bodies through the woods. So unnecessary, but hilarious. For some reason I read that scene aloud to my daughter. She thought I was crazy. "Mom, what the heck are you reading?"

Okay, okay. The final wrap up had me drooling, and just about when I wanted to throw this book across the room, that ending made me scream and ask, why, oh why wasn't this written better? It could have been awesome. Not sure if I'd give the squeals a read, unless they are free. I just can't suffer through the writing.

But darn, I really want to know how this love triangle fleshes out. All rats. I need a Reader's Digest version.… (más)
