**Caution: May contain spoilers** Let me just say: This synopsis is NOT the one I read. If I had read this one, I probably wouldn’t have even bothered with this book. Despite it’s short length, I didn’t actually read all of it. I made a valiant effort. Really, I did. But the lead character, B, was such a douchenozzle that I simply couldn’t go on. I usually don’t rate things I don’t read all of, but I think I read enough […]
What a beautiful story! It was desperate and emotional with a lyrical and captivating prose. I liked Eva, and I felt bad for her. All her life she’d been trained to be somebody else, never really getting to just be herself. How awful would that be? Imagine not being about to do anything you want to do. You have to like certain things, do certain things, just because your Other does. If your Other gets a bad haircut, or a […]
I read almost all of this in one night…not exactly by choice: My Digital Editions copy was expiring, haha. But it was a pretty quick and easy read. Let’s get the things I didn’t like out of the way first. My main issue? The characters. I didn’t connect the way I hoped: In fact, I didn’t connect at all. My major complaint was the switching views. Normally I love it, because you can see different perspectives of the same story. But […]
Eve and Adam was a bit strange at times, but I loved the writing style because it was quirky and engaging. There was humor at frequent intervals (and some innuendos) and the prose held my interest even when there wasn’t really anything exciting happening. It was fairly short, so it was a quick and easy read. Evening was a solid lead. She was smart and witty and there was nothing she did in the book to annoy me, which is […]
When you’ve been struck by lightning as many times as I have, you start to expect the worst pretty much all the time. With an opening line like that one, needless to say I was hooked immediately! The pacing was quite fast, and with all of the events happening I was enthralled and wanted more! I didn’t really know what was happening – who are the Seekers/Followers? What’s the deal with this Prophet guy? What’s really going on here? But I wasn’t confused, […]
**WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD** I usually hate to include spoilers in any review, but the reason I put this down is based off of a spoiler, so that’s most of what this review will entail. I think my hopes for this one were much too high before I picked it up. The story was decent. The originality was great. The characters…eh. I love the premise, really I do. A flower that can make people immortal and a perfect being with impenetrable […]
