Title: I dont get it...
Review: I really don't get why this book is so highly praised. Yes I get that someone younger than myself wrote this book and I probably couldn't do a better job of writing it, but its NOT THAT GREAT. As everyone has been saying, it stole a bunch of ideas from other influential fantasy novels, which is fine but it poorly mooshed them all together to make a really long, dry book. Great storyline, but it could have been played up a lot more. It was too long. And it's not that I don't like long books. I love Harry Potter and the Count of Monte Cristo, but they are able to hold my attention and admiration the whole way through. This one was hard to get through. I bought the second book and still haven't read it because I'm dreading that it will be the same thing all over again. I will see the movie and hopefully that will be more exciting than the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
