Title: Please, make it stop!
Review: A friend gave this book to me with the advice that it was the best book she had ever read. With that in mind, I began reading yesterday.I doubt I will be able to finish it, though I have given it the great attempt.The plot is derivative, the characters have major mood swings and little continuity of characterization. The emotions are over the top - screaming because of minor slights, then back to normal within the same paragraph. The overuse of adjectives and descriptive tags is annoying.Sigh.Yes, it's impressive that a teenager wrote a large tome. It shouldn't have been published without major editing. I suppose the plot can be overlooked as there are worse ones out there but the writing itself, while technically and gramattically correct is ponderous and frankly boring.Reading should not be a chore.
