Title: Doesn't live up to the hype
Product review: This book is engaging enough, but the writing isn't particularly good. Ms. Meyer needs to get over her fear of the word "said;" her endless, awkward "encouraged me"s and the like became quite distracting. The phrase "'Shh,' he shushed me" made me laugh out loud at what was supposed to be a tender moment.I would recommend Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments trilogy over this book any day. It has some of the same elements and would appeal to the same audience but is a lot more creative and, unlike several recent runaway hits, is actually well-written.
