2.0

I was routinely shocked at how the author managed to make such an interesting topic so trite and bland. Whenever the chance for an interesting development occured, she always seemed to pick the biggest and most entirely predictable cliche possible.  If this was their intention and they sought to replicate the air of cheesy horror that is an often discussed theme of the book, they still managed to make it as watered down as possible at every chance.  Must read if your favorite books are the ones you can guess the plot twists in by the 1/4 mark.

empressnessa's review

The “twist” was way too obvious. I guessed it almost immediately. Plus there was really no plot.
