Dragonflies- The Duncan Peters Files by Samantha Fontien1 of 5 StarsLet me first begin by saying that my taste in literature is very broad and I have a very open mind when it comes to reading and reviewing, regardless of my personal preferences.The Duncan Peters Files has bored me from page one. I usually read at least one book per day but this one has had me stymied for quite a while. I've tried reading in many different situations and even attempted to force myself to finish reading it so that I could give a completely educated opinion and review. That was impossible for me.The characters seem very one-dimensional, shallow, and easily swayed by the thoughts and actions of others. I understand that friends tend to follow friends, but Duncan and Rubin seem to have an unrealistic companionship, therefore raising eyebrows at their ability to function independently as opposed to both of them functioning as a single unit. Secondly, the situations did not seem to flow together very well. There were many questions that came to mind in the bit that I did read and they didn't show any sign of being answered. The story line seemed to jump from place to place and time to time without too much of a steady direction. I guess that what I'm trying to say is that Dragonflies makes no sense at all and it was difficult for me to follow.I truly hate giving a negative review for any book but this is one that could not be avoided and this is my first DNF.Complimentary copy given in exchange for an honest review.Meagan, My Secret Book Spot
