xshaeshae 's review for:
Underworld
by Meg Cabot
I really enjoyed the first book, but this second one was a giant flop to the point I was tempted many times to stop reading it because I was so bored with it.
My criticisms:
First of all, I was so confused by how in the first book, Pierce absolutely hated John, and wanted nothing to do with him. Now suddenly she is head over heels with him. Why? What happened to change her mind?
Next, why does it matter if Pierce dies?? She's doomed to live in the underworld with John forever because she ate waffles, had sex, and/or was just chosen by John to stay with him. So why is there so much effort to protect her if when she dies, shes just going to go to the underworld anyways like she did the first time she died?
Further, I believe the book was unnecessarily long for what it was. The whole second book was ONE DAYS worth in story time. I think they could've summed up what happened in the second book in a few chapters.
Lastly, someone else mentioned this and I haven't been able to stop noticing the amount of times they mention the words "cemetery sexton". Every time we talk to Mr.Smith, he is referred to as the cemetery sexton. We get it, I've read two books now, I know who Mr Smith is.
I was completely planning on NOT reading the next one, but unfortunately with that bomb they dropped at the end of this book, it looks like I'll be reading the third as well.
