I...I think my review was a little too generous now. I went in thinking that I would love it, and no. No. No. NO. Why are there not more reviewers that didn't like this book? *shakes head sadly* If I want to read the rantings of a crazy person, there are much better books than this one.Kayla Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02063162666132410730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450914320242093494.post-3032889832951204862014-01-28T04:29:47.123-06:002014-01-28T04:29:47.123-06:00Finally someone else who didn't like this book...Finally someone else who didn't like this book. I thought I was the only one and that my review was too harsh but I absolutely hated the writing, the characters and the lack of world building! I went into this with such high expectations because everyone seemed to love it, it's a shame I didn't see this review first!Edel @ TheIrishBookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223107637369828882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450914320242093494.post-58377610771430355072013-03-18T14:48:18.244-05:002013-03-18T14:48:18.244-05:00@Christina I have no doubt that you won't like...@Christina I have no doubt that you won't like it. I thought the writing was gorgeous - it really was - but I think I'd rather have a tooth pulled. It was just too much.<br /><br />@Kat Thanks! :-D There is just so much that went wrong with the book. I think my problem is that I like dystopian novels, but not dystopian ROMANCE novels. I don't think I'd be wasting my time worrying about whether or not Boy A & Boy B want to kiss me if I was being chased by an evil government or whatever.Kayla Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02063162666132410730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450914320242093494.post-8643496331389092202013-03-18T13:58:53.425-05:002013-03-18T13:58:53.425-05:00Oh Kayla, you crack me up, that is one of the best...Oh Kayla, you crack me up, that is one of the best reviews I've read in a long time. I'm so on the fence about this book, and when I get to it, I'm going to go in with low expectations and hope it's a pleasant surprise.<br /><br />Though now, maybe not ;-)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312515005865122767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450914320242093494.post-59344517872008920862013-03-18T08:47:27.868-05:002013-03-18T08:47:27.868-05:00LOL.

At least you like the writing. I think the purple prose is going to kill me.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450914320242093494.post-36656714081249284402013-03-16T13:33:22.934-05:002013-03-16T13:33:22.934-05:00I went in with high hopes, and I really wanted to ...I went in with high hopes, and I really wanted to love it.
