I felt little empathy for any of the characters, even the protagonist, and I certainly didn't feel like crying at the end (which is how one other blogger felt). Weird that it has evoked so many varied reactions!Jess // Curating Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04005951680553469471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720356289272497845.post-36264673250415428692010-07-23T10:19:43.142-04:002010-07-23T10:19:43.142-04:00I don't mind unconventional writing styles eit...I don't mind unconventional writing styles either but I do notice they tend to require more patience from me as a reader. So, I sort of need to be in the right mood to read them. I can't say this book ever caught my attention. I've read some good reviews, too, but my overall impression has been "sad" and potentially "boring." Here's to happy reading in the future!

The punctuation wasn't a huge issue for me—the plot was—but it was definitely distracting.Jess // Curating Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04005951680553469471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720356289272497845.post-88317456372705214352010-07-22T14:40:05.961-04:002010-07-22T14:40:05.961-04:00Oh man, I'm kind of sad to hear this wasn'...Oh man, I'm kind of sad to hear this wasn't that good. So many people have been buying it at my store, I guess it got some good reviews. Maybe I'll have to pick it up and read it—I don't mind the lack of quotation marks so much, in fact I kind of like them, haha.Tahleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330160603781228707noreply@blogger.com
