lisa_d9 's review for:
Winter Town
by Stephen Emond
I wasn't very impressed by this book. I couldn't get into it properly. It started off okay but as it progressed, I became increasingly more bored.
I liked the little comic strips. I wish there had been more of that cuteness and humour infused into the story. I also enjoyed the way Evan's chapters were song titles from The Beatles and Lucy's chapters were song titles from The Beach Boys(well, I'm guessing this one because I'm not the biggest Beach Boys fan except for five or six songs I love by them).
I didn't really like Evan very much. Not as a romantic lead, anyway. I've known guys like him who go off on opinionated rambles and I've always found it annoying. Not that I don't like opinions but it's really annoying when someone talks about something you don't know anything about, like some movie you've never heard about. It's fine to say something like "Have you seen Pan's Labyrinth? It's amazing." but I asked someone that question and they said no, I'd probably just give up talking about it unless they demanded more information. You know? This whole paragraph was a pointless ramble.
Anyway, there was something about Evan that didn't click with me. I think it made the whole book pretty "meh" for me.
So, the biggest positive were the comic strips.
