Thanks a lot, Pulseit, for giving the chance to read the book right the day it was released. It was cool.
And the book was... Ouch! But that in a quite good way. I mean... it was an easy read and a nice and twisted and powerful story, though the intimate moments aren't S. E. Green's speciality. I know that Lane was supposed to be emotionless until the Zach thing, but I do not think I need to be remembered each time Lane passes the library, that she has had a 'feeling' there. That lowered its score a lot for me.
Then it came... I know this is supposed to be in the real world. And it was somehow(only) realistic and etcetera, but there's no real need for f-bombs (as the author named them in the book) and sexual terms. I won't continue because I do not want to bore anyone with a preach.
But skipping all over the 'over-limits' that a respected and self-respected book doesn't really need, it was good. I cannot say it kept me at the edge of my seat and my heartbeat gone mad after half of the book.... I can't really say that but it's certain that the writing, the storyline and everything else were made up by someone talented. I gotta thanks S.E. Green for that.
It is kind of weird when all the pieces of the puzzle are connected. It's lacks realism when you have two parents into FBI, your biological father's line is totally fed up with criminals and sadistic people, your best and only friend is a high-tech genius that hacks into FBI database (that's cool, by the way!). It's weird and that's another reason I cannot like it enough.
But the read, the writing, the way the story is told, the easiness I could read it... It rocks at these chapters. Only that it might not be enough. I am optimistic today (though i'm usually the most pesimistic person you are ever going to read reviews from!!) and I might rank it good.
Overall, it was good, though it didn't sparkle at all!
