Usually when I find a book to be "bad" I sort of figure it out in the first chapter or so, and while I admit I put this book down a few times it finally drew me in.. but when the book started dropping plot-lines, and then when it finally got to the "end", I was so freaking upset I literally trashed the book... I mean, I would be embarrassed to suggest this book for anyone else to read.I LOVE reading, but the very fact that this book ends with nothing having happened in the entire story-line makes me feel like my mind was taken advantage of, my time wasted and I feel dumber for just having read it. If I could rate a book lower than one stars, well, I would do so.I have read a few other books in the culture since then, at the pressure of some friends, and it is like they are written by different authors.How did this book get published?
