Title: Stands Out...As a Bad Book
Review: I'm surprised at all the good reviews this book got. Not to be snide, I just genuinely am.This book looms in my memory as the one book I had to drag myself to finish. A book that made me tear up with boredom. The plucky heroine wasn't likable, the names were all forced and strange (none making sense in a universe together--more like an assortment of characters from different books) , not on the unique side, really.I thought any originality forced and unfounded, and wished it would have turned out better for me, especially as the "magic dust" theory was such a nice start.The ending wasn't predictable, but it was trying so very hard NOT to be, it couldn't possibly have been anything but what it was: Dull.With all these good reviews, and me not having read it in years, it might be worth trying, but I stand firm: take it out of the library.
Is the review positive or negative?
