Anyway! So the first book I would like to critique is Her Fearful Symmetry, by Audrey Niffenegger. Now I have heard glowing reviews of the Time Travelers Wife, so I figured hey why not, this seems like it would be interesting. I did not like this book at all! The story that Niffenegger creates albeit is very intricate, and tightly woven, I just could not get into it. First off she presents us with a set of twins who have the unhealthiest relationship in the world, and then brings in the dead great aunt who (spoiler alert!) in fact turns out to be their mother. That was pretty predictable honestly, however some points in the story were just head scratchers. If you read it talk to me, and we will discuss. But, in all seriousness the book was not worth the eighteen dollars paid for it. I could go on and on, however I won't.
On a slightly more positive note, for all you readers who like the mortal instruments series, author Cassandra Clare has confirmed there is to be a fourth one! yay!!!
Also for those Stephenie Meyer fans out there who have actually read her other book that does not deal with sparkly vampires, she does have plans to make The Host into a trilogy. I am actually really excited for this, because I felt like The Host had a little more substance than that of Twilight.
Check back for more updates on all things literary!
