badmc 's review for:
The Sudden Appearance of Hope
by Claire North
Hope Arden is utterly forgettable, and that opens up a whole lot of problems, as well as possibilities. When she is faced with a program that promises to make people perfect, she is one of the few who can do something about it. Aaand maybe be remembered..?
The good: It's unique. Also, I am a fan of Claire North's other series (about a certain resurrected magician), so I'm well acquainted with her style and vivid characters she writes.
The bad: Also, I expect there to be no plot whatsoever. It's just a series of things that happen. It's all very disjointed at times, and - I admit - there were moments where I lost the thread and had to reread a bit.
The ugly: You have to swallow the idea that NLP actually has a huge impact on the brain - which is utter poppycock. If the scientific inaccuracy irritates you, this is not a book for you.
Also, t's too long. I see this as 2 books in 1 -The second one was reeeealy boring at times. And repetitive as hell.
