Review
I do not have much to say on this book. I only got like 15-25 pages into this book. I really disliked it for one reason. The person view kept changing. It was in first person, then third person, then second person. I was just so confused as to what was going on.
I really just did not like the book. The summary made the book to be really interesting, but from the first sentence, I just could not stand it.
I am someone who really likes the entire book to just stay in one point of view. It is a creative idea, I will give the author credit for that, but my grammar/english teacher always corrected me on the person view changing so I find this to always bug me now.
I personally did not enjoy it but if you would like to give it a try, tell me how you liked it.
