Negative Positive
Title: Not especially original...no sparkle
Review: Was really looking forward to this, but am disappointed. Have been trying to finish it off and on for about six months but it never pulls me in.The writing plods and the storylines are derivative....not much original here.It's inoffensive--and certainly not awful--but nothing special. I imagine that the marketing prospects due to the author's young age drove the acquisition of this title by its publisher.
