agak 's review for:
The Hollow
by Jessica Verday
When I started reading this book I generally thought I would enjoy it and love it with a passion. But after the first 200-300 pages my hopes of falling in love with this book sort of plummeted down. The beginning started off great- It had plenty of potential to be a great read. But then it started to get slow. I was really interested in finding out the mystery of Kristen but most of the story pretty much concentrated on Abbey's sudden love for a mysterious boy named Caspain. I really tried to like both Abbey and Caspain's character but I just couldn't. Abbey seemed too much like a lovesick puppy without really knowing Caspian, to me he just seemed creepy and their conversations felt really corny and awkward. After meeting Caspain and getting to know him I predicted the ending of the story in my head and was waiting for it to come about but the book just dragged on.. and on... and on. When I finished this book I was more than relieved. And also disappointed. This story had the potential to be something great. If possibly the 500 pages was more around 300-350 it could have been a much better book. If the editor cut out some of the really irrelevant chunks of the book it would have been much better. I feel bad when I give bad reviews but I had to make and acception for this one because I just really didn't find it as amazing as I thought it would be
