Book Review: Worst book to ever crawl into print
Summary: 1 Stars
Honestly the worst thing I have EVER read. I've read a lot too. There was not a single likable character, the main character was painfully boring, the writing truly horrendous, and the mindless, pointless plot is spotted with random and cruel depictions of badly explained violence.
I read the full book in the vain hope that one single ray of redemption would show itself, but no, the main character ends up curled up in his bedroom waiting for his obviously heartless parent's to turn him in to be killed horribly.
That was a major problem. In the beginning you are treated to the description of a vampire being led away to be blinded and killed horribly. Vampire yes, but you are given no reason. Was this person really this bad? Who is this person? Who honestly deserves this? I am not easily effected by violence, especially in print, but I just found this scene distressing.
And the main character, I don't even remember his name. Is he mentally retarded? This can be the only explaination he talks like an idiot. Something along the lines of "They walked ahead. I walked after then. I walked slower."
Any of the mythology thrown in is hopelessly tacked on in this badly missmatched excuse for a novel. You get a bit of an explaination, but nothing compelling or interesting. In the end, no one wins and it all just sucks. NOTHING HAPPENS. AT ALL.
Nothing important is resolved and what wasn't boring made me feel just plain bad.
It literally made me ill for the two days after I slogged through it's wash of horrendous writing. It's not even worth reading for the value of saying that "yes, this is bad."
Never touch this book. Ever.
Burn it if possible.
