Customer Reviews

interesting storyline, but written way too poetically

the description sounded really interesting, so i picked it up from a bargain book bin. the plot had potential for sure, but the way the book is written is a bit too much. i'm trying to read a story, not a poem or art project. i found myself skimming through pages to get to actual details. the ending was also a bit corny. unexpected (to a degree...), but corny nonetheless. not terrible because i was able to push through to get to the ending, but not something i would read again or recommend.
