The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer

1.0

---

I was hoping that Meyer's departure from angsty YA vampire romance to adult spy thriller would be a good read. It was pretty awful, actually. The dialogue is terrible. The two main characters are supposedly furious with each other, and yet I had no clue that it wasn't a normal conversation until the dialogue tag said that they were in each other's faces and nearly spitting at each other. The story drops the reader right into the action, which is usually a good thing. In this case, it feels more like you've flipped open the book to the middle and started reading. I had no clue why the main character was on the run, and moreover, I never really did figure out why. There are so many loose threads that never get wrapped up. The ending is completely ridiculous. I think Twilight might actually be better than this drivel.
