Review: Read with Tissue
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 09 27, 2013
From a reader's perspective:I picked up a copy of this book here on Amazon and it was well worth what I paid. I loved the characters in Twisted. They reminded me of people I knew growing up. Yes, even Melanie was someone I could picture in my head and recognized right away. I got so wrapped up in the story, I couldn't stop reading. I wanted to know where Natalie was going to end up and how she was going to be brought to the epiphany at the end. First person past tense was a clever way to tell this story, because it put me right in Nat's shoes. By the end, I needed a tissue. It's heartbreaking to read about someone going through what Nat does and not be able to give them advice or guide them in any way. That's when you know you've gotten hold of a great book! I cared about what happened to her.From an editor's perspective:This book is very well written. Emotions were strong and there was plenty of tension throughout. Characters were well developed. One thing it needs is a proofread. There were small errors throughout that a proofreader would catch that actually threw me out of the story a few times. But errors are expected in any book, even those traditionally published. So don't let the tiny ones in this book sway you from picking up a copy.My Rating:+1 Star for creating characters I loved+1 Star for making me care+1 Star for pulling my heartstrings+1 Star for great storytelling+.5 Star for editing-.5 Star for need of a proofreaderOverall, 4.5 out of 5 stars! And I round up, not down!
