A review by mogget85
Fever by Lauren DeStefano

2.0

Not as impressed with this book. I will say that the title is incredibly accurate since Rhine spends most of this book in a fevered delirium. Seriously though, enough with the dreams! I don't think I mentioned this before in a review, but I really do not enjoy reading characters' dreams, especially if it happens often. They just scream false and it annoys me. Maybe it's just me, but my dreams are never as prophetic or true to life as they seem to be in books. Another pet peeve: noticeably repeating words. I am really wondering if there is some competition between YA authors to see who can use the word "wince" the most in one book. Destefano really overuses "cant" too. I liked it the first time she used it (in the first book!), but after about the fifth time it grew old. You can say "tilt", it's okay!
Also, I'd like some believable science, please. Anyway, I'm going to read the last book to see how this wraps up.
