It's kinda slow when we already know it's an adaptation of Frankenstein, what with the blurb telling us that. Kinda sad that the blurb kinda spoiled it for readers.

I mean, I love the story of Frankenstien and everything, but this sounds a little creepy and--ughh!--I hate romantic, cheesy banter! It's so annoying. With this review, I definitely know I won't be reading this one.<br />Cheers!Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598891922372937947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329593457481155810.post-25770467111342835972013-01-11T07:30:26.155-05:002013-01-11T07:30:26.155-05:00Sorry this didn't work out for you!

I just read another review that said that mentioning Frankenstein in the summery really threw her off, as if, if it wasn't mentioned at all, she probably would have like it better. There are associations with big names like that one, and sometimes the novel is better off not compared to them.Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870318255296476906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329593457481155810.post-68597179661599349902013-01-10T17:59:07.317-05:002013-01-10T17:59:07.317-05:00Oh Juhina, I really had high hopes for this book t...Oh Juhina, I really had high hopes for this book too, but so far the reviews seem to be really disappointing, that I may have to skip this!

Lol!! Barely anything happened between the on and on of the school day. I hated Emma's mom. She was just so freaking mean all the time and so rude. Who's that rude to people they don't even know! Seriously? Alex was about the only character I did like. Oh, and Bree. And I loved the last 5% of the book where stuff actually happens. That was fun. I gave this one a two also. Great review!!
