After I read this book and another (and I even just finished one now), I am keeping FAR away from reading/reviewing any apoc/post-apoc/dystopian books. They all have been falling short for me lately.<br /><br />I was bothered by Perry's teeth. I couldn't get over that. lol.Jacinda (The Reading Housewives)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11923129365106674434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3922517209932787954.post-19022215420173696182012-02-03T16:33:05.509+11:002012-02-03T16:33:05.509+11:00I don't know how I felt about this one.

Except they're not as primitive as we first think.

I know *EXACTLY*...Uh, this review is... perfection. I know *EXACTLY* how you feel--the way you described it: <em>"On one hand, I am quite in awe of the fabulous premise and diverse world Rossi created. On the other, I mostly don’t care. I think this is just a case of this book is just not my thing. The only things I can critique are all pertinent to my personal reading taste. For whatever reason, I was not grabbed by this book, yet I loyally trudged my way through it, admiring it in places, yet never bonding to it."</em> is *exactly* how I felt about Pure, but can never quite articulate when I stumble across the issue. It's kind of frustrating... when you can admire a book appreciate a fantastic premise, yet--for whatever reason--can't connect with it.<br /><br />Oh, and I agree with you on the Dystopian label for a few books I've read recently... it just seems to be default for so many books at the moment. The easiest thing to pin it as, given it's so popular at the moment?<br /><br />I initially avoided this one after feeling kind of burned out on 'dystopians' post-Pure... I was thinking of picking it up, and I still *might*, but you've summed up every issue I <em>imagined</em> I'd have with it, and there's so many other amazing books I want to read! (like Bittersweet, which I've been DYING for since reading your review a couple of weeks ago!)<br /><br />ANYWAY! I'm sorry. I'm ending this epic comment here.

However, I am a sucker for some good mythical illusions (Aether), so I'm hoping to fit this one in somewhere.

Though, like you, it may just not be my thing either. I'm not much for sci-fi to being with. <br /><br />But since I do have this book sitting on my bookshelf, I'll get around to it someday.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.com
