And remember, it was the writer in me that really found the faults, but the reader in me was pleased, even if I could put the book down easily. I still enjoyed the story and the characters.Jennifer @ Bad Bird Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05751974007601546887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67955842291652941.post-25190124327922437942012-06-07T00:30:49.577-07:002012-06-07T00:30:49.577-07:00Yessss, I think me expecting more from this book b...Yessss, I think me expecting more from this book based on the awesome reviews made the result a little harder to take. <br /><br />I think you should read it but just don't expect to be blown away, which is what I expected.Jennifer @ Bad Bird Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05751974007601546887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67955842291652941.post-25179950327017072682012-06-07T00:15:50.518-07:002012-06-07T00:15:50.518-07:00Sorry it didn't grab you ..i loved it.

I'm so glad you liked what you did, though, and I think you've nailed it--it's the characters. I LOVED them.<br /><br /><em>"The twists in this tale gave the story a lot of oomph. Meyer went beyond the simple premise of Cinderella and jumped leaps and bounds to bring us a world of darkness and light, injustice and triumphs, selfishness and selflessness."</em><br /><br />I seriously don't know what to say beyond this.

I often find it's worse if you're expecting a book to be really good and then it doesn't quite live up to expectations.<br />I have been in two minds whether or not to read Cinder for some reason, think that I'll move it a bit further down the wishlist now though.<br />Thanks for an honest review Jennifer :)Sarah Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418033838719329918noreply@blogger.com
