A struggle to get through
|
| I struggled with this book. MJ is a ghostbuster, who along with her gay partner Gilley (this gay partner/best friend thing is feeling a little cliche)try to send ghostly spririts to the 'other side'. The premise sounds intriguing and there are several scenes involving these ghosts which are very interesting. I enjoyed these interactions between the ghosts and MJ and or Gilley. However, the book almost feels sabatoged by the character of Steven Sable. He has got to be the most horrid love interest I have ever come across. What is even worse, is that the author clearly intends for him to be amazingly sexy and romantic. He knocks MJ off her feet. As others have previously mentioned here, Steven struggles speaking English. I read the reviews, but thought surely it wouldn't be as distracting as reviewers suggest. It was worse!!! Every scene with Steven was clogged in passages where he would use some word incorrectly and MJ would always pause to figure out what he meant, and then laugh at how cute he was for messing it up, then give him the correct wording to use. This could happen three or four times per page! Even worse, was the fact that many of these misused words aren't even close to sounding realistic. Towards the end of the book, I was actually happy whenever Steven wasn't in a scene! I groaned outloud when I read that they plan for him to be an ongoing character. Its a shame, but this character is pretty much the only reason I would hesistate to recommend this book on. I will not read the follow up anytime soon, if I read it at all, however I am encouraged by reviews that suggest Steven has a much smaller role in the next book, and its been reviewed higher than this one. |
