Review: Could be enjoyable if you could get past initial extreme silliness

Okay, I realize that what turned me off this book is extremely subjective, all reviews are subjective, but I think some points are less subjective than others, however this is how I feel in good faith.Everybody has a different suspension of disbelief threshhold and believe in fantasy I can suspend disbelief as to a lot of things. Unfortunately I wanted to roll my eyes once I realized that yes, blurb was actually correct. And yes, I bought it because I was curious enough to see if I can suspend disbelief. So I cannot blame anybody but myselfSo, no spoilers, since  all I reference is the blurb which is here is for everybody to see, but seriously, Ryland dear, the only way you can get money for your tuition is to agree to be thrown to werelions? I mean, seriously, honestly, fantasy is great, but author chose to write about very human educational institution, right? Um, go get a loan, go work in construction on weekends, go do something. Sorry, I want realistic interactions even in fantasy, I cannot tolerate much stupidity.Anyway, if you CAN suspend disbelief and just tell yourself that this is what author chose to do to throw leads together, the story is actually well written and hot in my opinion and this is is why I give it three stars and not one. I just wish that initial setup would have worked better for me, even if he would have decided to do so for fun, because he was bored, that would have still been more believable for me, but not because he felt he had no other choice and nowhere else to get money. Oh please.
