Review: Needs WORK - BUT want this Author to keep Going...
Rating: 4 out of 5

As the title states this book I believe needs some work. There is an annoying aspect to this book of constantly repeating the same thoughts over & over of the main character. It happens in many other places but with the main character it is painfully obvious at many times. In some ways it will make some readers feel like they are being spoon fed as if they were children. I am hoping this is something the author can correct with time, it would give the book so much more flow & maybe even feel less juvenile.Why did I give this 4 stars, because the premise is kind of awesome. I say kind of awesome because the author needs to be really careful as this book can easily become nothing more then the dark version of Harry Potter. I will not bother to explain that as it should be quite obvious to all who read this story. The last part of the book did a good job of dispelling that feel but it is still there & seems waiting to come out at any time. I am also not entirely thrilled with the reaction of the residents to their predicament. I can understand some feeling this way but they all seem to approach their situation the same way & that does not flow with this story. I speak of the lack of especially resentment & rebellion even in the smallest of ways. The final critique as someone else pointed out was how the main character would be able to see the bad in a situation and then still manage to follow the absolute worst path every single time. Even the proverbial broken clock is right twice a day.
