It is so far. I've read worse things, but none of them bothered me as much as this one.<br /><br />Lies Beneath was alright for me, but I didn't love it. I had some suspension of disbelief issues. I did like Brown's writing though, so I'll probably try whatever she writes when the mermaid series is finished.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-89542054296366368462012-08-03T00:32:03.931-04:002012-08-03T00:32:03.931-04:00It is disappointing, isn't it? I have tried on...It is disappointing, isn't it? I have tried on many occasions to find a book about mermaids that at least sits well with me. Of the many that I have tried, only one has succeeded. That would be Lies Beneath by Anne Greenwood Brown. It was actually good, maybe because it was written from a male perspective. That's the only one though. I had very high hopes for Of Poseidon because of the stellar reviews that it has been getting. Oh well, it looks like my search continues. Thank you, though, for saving me from yet another aquatic nightmare! I've had enough of those since Jaws, thank you very much!Jaime Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102596597333629396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-84506653544272532882012-06-11T14:40:25.368-04:002012-06-11T14:40:25.368-04:00Right?

He freaking follows her across the country, lies to her to get her to go out with him, and constantly tells her what to do and she's okay with that because he has pretty purple eyes. Ugh.<br /><br />I was so mad about the sister. She was all 'no you can't tell me to get married' and I thought she might be a strong female to latch onto, but of course women secretly always want to be married and are just playing hard to get. NOOOO.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-53768059806393840342012-06-11T14:37:25.982-04:002012-06-11T14:37:25.982-04:00Hah, yeah this book was totally NOT MY THING AT AL...Hah, yeah this book was totally NOT MY THING AT ALL. I just could not get over how creepy Galen was and how bizarre it was that whatever her name is, EMMA, there we go, just kind of forgets about her dead BFF. And then that arranged marriage crap. What the deal?<br /><br />Sigh.April (BooksandWine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15268544465552896599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-31922527057644582442012-06-01T13:10:43.963-04:002012-06-01T13:10:43.963-04:00I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I knew that a lot of people were going to, and, in fact, a lot of blogs I read had 4 and 5 star reviews, so you're in good company.<br /><br />Her humor just wasn't quite my style, unfortunately, and I thought Galen was a creeper. Haha.

I loved the style and attitude and the world-building.<br /><br />I really enjoyed the romance, and the characters are so memorable. I guess it depends on what people look for and their expectations.<br /><br />Thanks for the honest review:)Christina K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-28353544828811867662012-05-30T11:50:04.246-04:002012-05-30T11:50:04.246-04:00Bantering about it on twitter was fun.

I, however, just didn't think it made a whole lot of sense. Also, Galen is SO CREEPY.<br /><br />Yeah, the fact that she totally forgot about her dead friend totally pissed me off.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-28702739090048915512012-05-27T22:37:40.216-04:002012-05-27T22:37:40.216-04:00Wow, this sounds laughably bad.

I will not be reading this book, so thanks for the head's up.<br /><br />Coincidentally, I really enjoyed watching you and Giselle banter back and forth about it on Twitter :-PAudrey (Bibliosaurus Text)http://www.bibliosaurustext.comnoreply@blogger.com
