I had to start skimming it eventually because the writing was so darn long winded. Yeah and wtf was the shiny thing by the river about? Ugh what an annoying book!<br /><br />I second what Lenore said about Before I Fall. It is a pretty long book, but it is an amazing story. One of the best books I've read in a while even.MySharonAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13108439112946490897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-23194052401601664152009-09-22T18:25:36.798-07:002009-09-22T18:25:36.798-07:00And I've been ogling this book - it's had ...And I've been ogling this book - it's had such good reviews.

What the heck, are me & you missing something, so many people really enjoyed this book? Eh, I'll continue, hopefully I'll finish it this month ;] Great honest review!Elenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09970459958943385757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-18958981449911488872009-09-22T14:27:36.341-07:002009-09-22T14:27:36.341-07:00I'm one who is daunted by the length...and I a...I'm one who is daunted by the length...and I am sorry to hear you thought there was a lot of filler. I bought it, so I guess I should probably take your advice and wait to read it until all three books are out.<br /><br />Incidently, I just finished reading BEFORE I FALL by Lauren Oliver which comes out next March. It is 470 pages, but I wouldn't take out a single word.

Anything with a "hollow" plot definitely doesn't work for me!<br /><br />I love the honesty of your review and the fact that you were able to give concrete examples of what you disliked -- about the prose <i>and</i> the plot. Though every reader is different, we all benefited from your candor!

I do tend to avoid buying hardcovers anyway, but I won't rush in to this one.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483030255023873716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-39944464431154978822009-09-22T11:22:12.642-07:002009-09-22T11:22:12.642-07:00Hmm, disappointing.

And I did not realize it was 500+ pages.<br />I keep coming across books like this (too long, overwritten, bad tension, etc), and think, where were their editors? Why are people letting this slide?Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436497955518156688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-17582264896475463962009-09-22T11:11:34.811-07:002009-09-22T11:11:34.811-07:00I love an honest review :)I love an honest review :)Tales of Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938494589922620170noreply@blogger.com
