The Plot. I thought that this book had a great idea and had so much potential. I loved the book when I read the summary and was so excited to see where the story line would lead. Then I got to certain parts in the book and my excitement dwindled into disappointment. There were quite a few aspects of this book that just twisted me the wrong way. First, this girl decides to run away and she steals away on her father's ship where she gets stuck. Then she finds these people who decide to hide her at risk to their won lives and all she does is complain. Suddenly the book has no details or storyline as the author describes her time in a small village. Then she manages to overhear the dark plot to ambush American sailors and off she goes to save the world. Everything about this book was just too unbelievable for me to actually enjoy it.Jennifer. Jennifer's character was such a disappointment. She had all the characteristics in a heroin that I absolutely loath to read about. She complained every few seconds about how misfortunate she was when she chose to run away. Then it seemed she couldn't do anything right. She was always messing up and making mistakes. I never warmed up to her and couldn't bring myself to like her.Other Characters. I thought that the other characters were a little better than Jennifer but still not good. They seemed to fade in the background a lot and I was never sure what there character was supposed to be doing. many of the characters were never expanded on and gave proper characterization. I felt that this gave the book less credibility than usual.Overall. All in all this book was not as good as I thought it could have been. Some parts passes to fast and didn't have enough details. Other parts had too much detail or dragged on too long.
