Oh, I read that book a while ago! I felt like it was alright, and that it got worse towards the end. There's a sequel if you're interested, though I haven't read it since I didn't like the first book.
As for me, I'm reading A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray. Please note my following comments contain mild spoilers, ones you learn in the beginning of the story. Now, the story starts in medias res. The whole point of starting in medias res in any story is to get straight into the action. However, (1) it doesn't really do that(the story kind of gives you a jolt with the protag[can't remember her name, and I read over 100 pages of the book yesterday...that's a bad sign] writing "Kill Paul Markov" on the wall, but that's about it), and (2) the second chapter starts with an exposition dump that goes on for 10 pages or so. Both of these things leave the in medias res meaningless. The story also centers around a love triangle...*sigh*. Why do so many books aimed at teens have to have a love triangle/love plot?! I will say that the amount of swearing in this book is extremely scarce, so that's good, I suppose. I'll probably say all of my thoughts in this thread once I finish the book.
I'm also reading "When the Emperor was Divine" by Julie Otsuka. It's alright, but the subtlety and lack of names, things the book was undoubtedly praised for, can make it boring at times. I was tempted to put it down, but then the thing with the dog happened(if you've read the book, you know what I'm talking about), and I ended up reading 30 more pages or so. Might say my thoughts on that one, too, when I finish it.
Oh, and I got a Kindle for Christmas(well, I got it about 2 weeks after Christmas...as a Christmas present...yeah)! Any ebook exclusives you guys recommend?
