I know, I broke a cardinal rule. But, after your review, I think I am going to have to give it a shot. It sounds like it might just be a good book.

Doesn't it stink when a novel with a great premise has characters who rub you the wrong way on every level? =(Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-65382585121606398302012-04-03T09:33:40.735-04:002012-04-03T09:33:40.735-04:00I like all of the quotes.

Scary to think that that's how our world could turn out. <br /><br />On another note, I can't stand spoiled rotten lead characters. :-P I think that's a big reason why I hate Clary so much in The Mortal Instruments series. <br /><br />Still, it looks like it'll be a great book to read. :-)WildIrishRose33https://www.blogger.com/profile/01900152280285174419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-40881958307986542062011-12-07T11:12:02.038-05:002011-12-07T11:12:02.038-05:00I've also been dying to read this one...I'...I've also been dying to read this one...I'm kind of scared though...characters are always huge with me...If it was broken down, I think like 60-70% of my enjoyment of a book depends on characters and character development...If the characters are brats...well...maybe I'll just wait a while...Great review as always chick!Andra Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01194158597026288339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-70367337702149915602011-12-05T11:38:42.524-05:002011-12-05T11:38:42.524-05:00This was one of the books I almost bought yesterda...This was one of the books I almost bought yesterday when I was perusing around in walmart while my oil change was being done.
