Tatiana I just took a look at this book - it's huge! And the font is so tiny! I am definitely not taking it on...


message 2: by Eve (new) - rated it 2 stars

Eve Davids I hate it so much, I am giving away my copy. The problem is there is promise somewhere in the midst of the whole thing but I just cant shake away The Historian vibe.


message 3: by Vicki (new)

Vicki I can't believe there is a protagonist out there worse than Bella Swan!


message 4: by Eve (new) - rated it 2 stars

Eve Davids Victorious, trust me, there is. I have still not being able to finish this. It's that bad. It pains me to say this but she is worst than Bella Swan. Why? she is supposed to be in her thirties with a residency at Yale. In other words, super educated, independent woman. At least with Bella you know you are dealing with a 17-year old teenager.

Airaology Wow you guys. I saw the first chapter and thought it was interesting and was about to get the whole book before you started comparing it to Bella Swan. thanks!

Eve Davids Ah, sorry Aira. There are some good parts in this book, and its really not that bad if you skip all the stupid and disgusting love parts.
