I just finished reading this last week and I felt that same disconnect with the characters and most of the story. And I didn't love the writing either, which surprised me because that was such a strong point in the two other Durst books I've read. I think you're right, though: it would have played much better as a movie. Great review!Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938626223222252300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-17720129707315560192014-09-20T17:41:53.073-04:002014-09-20T17:41:53.073-04:00Hugs. <3 I'm sorry you had issues with this...Hugs. <3 I'm sorry you had issues with this book, Lauren :\ It is never fun when you don't love a book. I do like this cover :D but don't think the book is for me, hih. Not swooning for the romance is a big turn-off :( I love good romances. I need good romances. So yeah. I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy this book more. Thank you for being awesome and being honest, though. <3 :)Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-2773695405375812492014-09-19T23:21:27.949-04:002014-09-19T23:21:27.949-04:00I liked this, but my biggest complaint was what yo...I liked this, but my biggest complaint was what you mentioned in #5. It seemed like it was just a normal world and then a few people have these powers and it just bugged me the whole time. Plus the whole evil dad thing, with again, no explanation given (or even questioned) until so late. It all ended up coming together, but it was in the back of my mind the whole time that I didn't understand this world and where the superpowers came from. Other than that, I enjoyed it. ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-29821713238648002592014-09-19T20:54:00.353-04:002014-09-19T20:54:00.353-04:00Hmmmmmmm.

Happy to hear there are no love triangles, but now I'm not so sure if this is a book I should invest my time in. :/ I'm kind of getting tired of the superheroes in YA, anyway. Will have to think on this one!

However, that ...Yay for no insta-love or triangles. However, that lack of a connection with the MC definitely hurts the swoon-factor of the romance. I wonder if this was written as a screenplay originally and adopted into book form? (Could be a reason for the "better as a movie" feel. Just throwin' it out there...)Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-5057362703756709722014-09-19T09:36:44.525-04:002014-09-19T09:36:44.525-04:00LOL -- It's hard to find YA books about super ...LOL -- It's hard to find YA books about super powers that are original and engaging. There are just SO many out there! Glad this one kept you entertained, even if it didn't blow your socks off.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.com
