OK- so I finally finished it. That tells you something, because I will sit down and devour a great book in one sitting- not matter what else is going on. I love to read- if I don't have at least one novel, one business or 'puter book and one other non-fiction 'on the go' I am majorly sick. There have been times when I've had more.
I can't say I disagree with the parallels to traditional LDS views, 'cause I don't really know them. It is quite possible- and it would be nice to have some explanation for at least some of the atrociousness that is this book. Obviously I didn't like it,
and for pretty much all the other reasons stated above; mediocre writing, lack of character/ plot/ fantasy world development, brainwashing
to lower youth's self-esteem, etc.
But I have to admit that I don't knowingly read other YA titles- so for all I know this is typical of the genre... although I truly hope that is not the case or we are in major trouble. I read it more because of the CP potential- but I've decided that jason can do all that, since he likes the book. Not sure if he would've if he hadn't seen the movie first; he liked that so much.
