Fallen


FALLEN is the title of the book I'm currently reading.
It came to me actually because of this great cover. It appealed to me. It talked to me!!
So I looked it up, blablablabla now I'm reading it.

It's. . . . good. I wouldn't say it's the best book I've ever read, but not the worst. I'll be nice.
I'm on page 70 and I still don't know where it's taking me and to be honest, by page 70 you get tired of reading about the same thing over and over again when you know you have less than 80 pages left.

The author has failed to develop the main character, what's her name even? Oh Luce!! as in Lucinda. Lucinda Price. I just see Lucinda as a less annoying Bella Swan. I hate comparing anything to Twilight *gags*, but it's inevitable.
When I started reading I was captivated --which kept me reading--, but by page 40 something I felt I was reading Stephanie Meyer again. The agonizing love story, the mean boy, the tortured girl, the nice guy who wants the girl.... The writing style is awfully similar at this point. I really enjoyed the descriptions at first, but now I feel they don't add any content or background to the story. Or maybe they do, but I've been skipping those parts at this point.

On the cover you read: "Sexy, fascinating and scary." The only sexy thing I've seen so far is Cam. I picture him like a rockstar. Daniel, supposed to be the Mister Darcy of the story, I can only picture him like that blonde guy from the last Harry Potter movie, I don't know his name, but he has a commercial dancing in his undies. The complete opposite of sexy.
Fascinating? . . . Ehm.... No?
Scary?: Are the shadows supposed to scare me? Because they don't.

I'll write more when I finish it, if I can deal with the blablablabla. Okay?

Stay tuned for the next entry!! <3
