I'm back. My reading's getting in the way of writing...
Finished Dreamland by R0bert L. Anders0n
An old book (2015) my sister bought years ago but never read and oh boy. This is a toughie to rate.
First off, I disliked the main character sometimes. She didn't tell people things that could have solved the conflict right away. She also did some pretty stupid things that made me grind my teeth.
Second, the writing. SO much description and pointless action. There was a whole chapter of the character walking around that added nothing to the story.
Thirdly, the book through in random curse words and other upper-level pg-thirteen things, and while I knew this was a teenage book, it just didn't fit the tone or mood of the book. Every time someone swore, I was taken out of the story.
Fourthly, this book through in a lot of things but never explained or wrapped them up. The story ended in a totally strange way that I didn't see coming. I felt it ended too soon and on the wrong subject/plotline.
Overall I rate this book a 2 because it was still an engaging and interesting story. Maybe a 2.5 even. I don't know.
