A review by amarylissw
The Body Electric by Beth Revis
3.0
I tried reading Across the Universe and didn't care for it. At all. However, I'll usually give an author at least a second chance just in case it was that particular book and not the author. Apparently, though, it's the author.
The world-building is good. That much I can say positively. But the characters fall flat and I wasn't really a fan of the plot either. We have the elements for a good story, but with little development, nothing really seem to go anywhere -- I mean, sure, things happen, but I never really found myself caring. And the romance especially did not work for me.
Probably the last time I'm going to try a Beth Revis book. Having seen the author herself in person, too, I can say she's not my type.
