♥♥♥♥♥ |
Extremely disappointing
|
So...I had been eyeing this series of books in the scifi section for a while. I read the first few pages, but never committed to buying them. When I received almost the whole series as a gift, I was pretty excited.
I read this one, and probably will never read the others.
Almost the entire book is spent describing the wardrobe of the characters, in which I took no interest (expecially as this wardrobe apparently came from an 80's time warp). The remaining parts of the novel were almost exclusively wasted on gratuitous sex scenes. Now, I don't object to a sex scene with a point, but there was no point in any of these.
As for the writing, I've seen better from angst-ridden teenagers. The dialogue was flat and boring. She used the phrase "pleased as punch" twice in as many pages. When she described a character as "looking like a promise" my brain recoiled in horror. This is possibly the worst metaphor I have ever heard, and I can't even tell what the hell it is supposed to mean.
This is just proof that some people will read anything, encouraging companies to publish even more of the same old drivel. |
