A review by penwiper
The Collectors by Jacqueline West
3.0
2.5-3. For a book I considered dnf’ing this turned out more fun than I had anticipated. Younger readers would probably enjoy this.
My problem is with the MC’s basic wishy-washy reaction to things (characters: do this thing for us! van: I’m not sure I can/should! Characters: it’s ok you’re totally special and unique! Van: You’re right! I can be SuperVan, let me at it![this happens between at least two opposing groups of people]) and the last page’s unreasonable musings about his friend bring things down for me.
Also he treats his Mom like garbage and only thinks of himself for most of the book. If I was his Mom I’d have him on a leash. At least he’s not an orphan and his Mom actually cares about him??
I don’t think I will read more despite the final ending which perked things up a bit.
