Still haven't gotten to it. It's definitely not at the top of my pile now. But, I still want to read it, mostly cause it kind of reminds me of Animorphs and I sometimes love weir stuff. For some reason, I thought it would be a fairy book...Norihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991072472141788180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-73284496618145303032012-08-21T08:09:59.781-04:002012-08-21T08:09:59.781-04:00C.

Both this and windup girl I couldn't DNF or I would have tried to read them AGAIN later. Might as well get it over with now.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-41184861064075496412012-08-21T08:07:13.930-04:002012-08-21T08:07:13.930-04:00Right?

I mean, I literally would be happy with just a sentence saying something like, 'After the X, everything changed and some of the people evolved.' Like okay, fine. If you're going to set your book in a crazy future earth, you have to say something about how that world came into being!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-75087891415310226702012-08-21T01:33:33.076-04:002012-08-21T01:33:33.076-04:00I was excited for this one because it was by a Can...I was excited for this one because it was by a Canadian author (I didn't even know until I saw it on a book blog's Canada Day giveaway list, it turns out that there are more Canadian authors out there than I thought) and I liked it's covers. But the lackluster reviews I've seen put me off borrowing it from the library, even though it was staring at me (more like ignoring me, but whatever.) with it's lovely cover.<br /><br />"the Tales told at the end of each chapter"<br />What is this? Like Delirium, but at the end instead of the beginning of each chapter?<br /><br />Are you sure it wasn't the bee thing that made you dislike this one? *wink wink*<br /><br />The more I read about ABOVE your review, the weirder the story gets.

Most bloggers I know DNFed it. I am glad you were able to get through it to affirm that it does not get any better. I decided a while ago not to read this book based on so many reviews. Sounds like a freaking weird book, but not good weird. I'll pass.

I've seen quite a few "WTF?" reviews for this one, so I'll be staying away. Great review!Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714782276296445149noreply@blogger.com
