Thanks for your honesty in your review, was thinking about reading it on holiday, but I think I will give it a miss in favour of one of my old favourites! Thanks again!

I am sorry but I just have to laugh as politely as I can. If you are going to criticize me for voicing my opinion, then please learn proper punctuation. As for being nearly 40 — are you delusional? I am 28 and that is hardly “nearly 40″. Beside being bad at constructing sentences, you’re sure bad at counting too. Thank you for the chuckles.

I recommend spending some more time reading. That will help you learn to construct more appropriate sentences when you’re criticizing a blogger. Plus, you may find that there is actually good literature out there. I just don’t think you’re looking.

I would say “Good day to you, too” but I am going to jump back a decade or two (to my age) and say, “Thanks. Bye!”

This Book was great you don’t know what your talking about you are being very judgmental of this book, as well as being a hypocrite, you say that the book relies heavily on stereotypes but yet you use stereotypes to insulate this wonderful piece of writing, Plus your nearly 40 you have no place to be making such strong accusatives of a bout meant for people half your age Good day to you -Mick “a actual understander of the literary arts”

[...] book design trends — the big swirly text that take over the entire cover. (I think it was Beautiful Creatures that may have started this trend) and you see it again with Unearthly (which I have yet to read). [...]

I think its about time they throw in some curve balls as in instead of the male always being the interesting one with super powers and the girl is just weake. how about the girl with super powers and the boy is weak and he ends up falling for her

Oh my, sorry you didn’t like this one! I’ve been thinking of reading it because I had heard so many good things about it. But I might hold off. Thanks for your honesty!

LOL. It’s funny how differently different readers can see the same book. I am usually a very critical reader and regularly stop reading books that bug me, but this one didn’t at all! I was hooked from the first page and didn’t have any of the problems you mention. But then, I wasn’t expecting to love it. I was expecting to be annoyed, because lately I hate paranormal romance with a passion. I wonder how much our expectations have to do with the final result. I ended up loving everything about this book.

I’m not sure I see what you mean in your last paragraph, though. I don’t see how it spreads a bad message or how it fails to be eloquent. I felt the opposite way. Again, it’s funny how subjective reviews can be.
