Review
Well. I never actually thought that a book with werewolves would be this boring. I dont know, maybe it was the fact that I havent read the other books? maybe its just my taste? maybe it was indeed boring. Anyway, the book has terrible descriptions. I mean seriously, even with the awesome cover I had a very difficult time picturing how the hell werewolves looked, making me reshape the image of every character in almost every scene, that was frustrating and annoying. To be fair though, the last chapters of the book were awesome. They ALMOST made up for the whole frustrating read it was. The final chapters manage to do a twist i personally did not expect even in the deepest corner of my mind. However i recommend it even for the sole purpose of spending the time. After all, if you dont read books you dont like then how will you appreciate the really good ones out there?
ohh i'm so disappointed =( a book with the word "wolf" in the title and not great ??
ReplyDeletei liked the end of your review though...
so..i guess that's stay out of my TBR!
ReplyDeleteNo, you 2 dot buy it, you will get it from me. The good news are that it is a standalone novel. So it requires no previous knowledge of the series. Though personally i did NOT like the writing. It was confusing
ReplyDelete@Athanasia: i know, i got disappointed as well :S
