Title: Picked it up because of the good reviews...
Review: I honestly don't know how it got so many five-star reviews.I somehow refrained from throwing it across the room until I had finished it completely. I found the writing style to be juvenile. I might have considered it a good first try for a budding novelist if they were still in junior high.The author used italics in nearly every paragraph for emphasis. This got annoying VERY quickly. The main character is raven-haired and silver-eyed... but at least he's only a Sue in appearance. He can't do anything right, or well, and the story is cover-to-cover angst (okay, so there was a chapter of fluffy twu wuv, which was almost as bad as the angst).The story had a lot of potential, and I really wanted to like it, but it just never got any good.
Is the review positive or negative?
