Review: Bland Supernatural?
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 11, 2012
I used to be an ardent fan of the Supernatural series. I still am but its new timing doesn't allow me to enjoy it as much. This book screams Supernatural and at any moment, you expect the two brothers to show up and save the situation.The situation seems real enough, something any couple can relate to. The over the moon feeling at having a child and then that unexpected stab in your chest when you lose your baby. After that, things take a twist and this is where (as a book) it fails to entertain.The writing isn't bad. But it isn't that great either. Emotions are described blandly. Every sentence is like a bullet. Brief, to the point and non-descriptive. It becomes a little hard to be entertained and even harder to imagine which is why I assume many of us read fiction.We don't want real and we don't bland. We want words and situations that will offer us an escape from the drama of our own lives, or at least I do and this book didn't do it for me.Overall assessment:Story: 4/5Characters: 4/5Editing: 4/5Pacing: 3.5/5Offensive content?: Minimal sex, violence and religious arguments.
