Summary: I can't believe I finished this book...
Review: At the same time I can't believe I started this book. About two hundred pages into the book I reached a dreaded point; the point where you are not far enough into the story to actually accept giving up on the book, and subsequently the point where you are too far to accept the fact that the first two hundred pages were a waste of time. The character development was non-existent. I didn't even feel like I knew these people. The ending was even worse. It was as if the author got to a point and finally said, "this book is long enough, let's end it here," and snap!, the book ends just like that. I gave the book two stars simply because I finished it. All I can basically say is do not waste your time. There are too many other great (even good) books out there. The catch phrase on the back cover quotes Publishers Weekly as stating, "A writer to watch!" I would respond by asking, "What book they were reading, because this one ain't worth a cent."
