Negative Positive
Title: Demon in My View
Review: I give this book a two because I give the girl credit - she's a tad older than I am but she has no real experience writing. I don't give her any more than two stars because she HAS NO REAL EXPERIENCE IN WRITING. I've been reading adult/young adult fiction for going on three years now and I know the plots can be drippy and shallow - especially for the fantasy genre. But this... this is beyond shallow. I read it in an hour and a half (which completely kills my habit of reading a book in the wee hours of the night to the wee hours of the morning). The characters have no personalities. The plot is predictable, boring, and something that ANY high schooler could have written. I admit, I see potential. I would advise Amelia Atwater-Rhodes to fine tune that potential, take a writing course, and then her next novella will be better. She could be the next Ann Rice. But I doubt anyone would've wanted to read what Ann Rice wrote when she was thirteen.
Is the review positive or negative?
