Review: Could have been better *spoilers
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 1, 2013
I feel kinda bad giving the book 3 stars when everyone else so far has given it 5, but I didn't like it as much as they did for a few reasons. My first complaint would be the word "I" is used way too many times, things written in the first person don't normally bother me, but you can't start every sentence with "I", it gets old fast! Second would be that I just didn't feel drawn in to the characters, they weren't very likeable, and parts that should have been emotional fell flat. I don't know of anyone who looses a spouse and is then checking out other women a few weeks later, plus the fact that your kid is also kidnapped. I mean really? Your kid is taken and you spend weeks dealing with other stuff, the whole thing just didn't set well with me. I had a hard time finishing the book, but did anyway, only to find that none of the storylines are wrapped up. It's fine to end with a cliffhanger, but you should at least wrap up some part of the story, this feels more like they left off the final few chapters of the book. I doubt that I will buy the next part of this trilogy.
