krystal_swan5 's review for:
Wildwood
by Colin Meloy
The only reason I finished this book is because I was 300 pages in, and felt this need to be able to count it towards my goal of books to read for the year, and if I had stopped half way through I wouldn't have felt like I could claim it as a book I "read" this year. And then I would have felt like the time I spent reading the first 300 pages was wasted. *sigh*
Everyone I know who has read this book loves it. I'm not sure what is wrong with me. I read the first chapter right before it was due back at the library, and I was interested enough to check it out a second time when I saw it reappear on the shelf. But after the first chapter it went all down hill for me.
The plot just seemed really far-fetched. Usually I can handle far-fetched if there is some sort of explanation, or good details, or story-line supporting the far-fetchedness...but this felt really shallow to me.
Maybe I'm asking too much of a junior fiction novel. That's probably it.
