No Star for You!
As I always get a giggle out of Travis Jonker's One Star Review Guess Who posts, I figured I'd swipe the idea and post the occasional one-star Amazon review of a much-lauded YA title.
So, can you guess what book this disappointed reader is reviewing?:
I usually love young adult books, and the premise of this seemed so original and fun, but I was sorely disappointed. I couldn't get past the first 30 pages. The voice of the narrator was so irritating I wanted to scream. If you have to write "obviously" or "clearly" once every sentence, you shouldn't be writing anything at all. I couldn't shake the feeling that the author was trying to force a style that he was not that adept at, and at the same time seemed so pleased with himself for what he was writing, I gave up on it way before I usually would. Not worth the hype at all.
