Ok. So it took me a while to get through this one. Not because I didn't want to, but I've been...busy. And reading has not been a top priority for me lately.
Anyway. So maybe that's why I didn't enjoy Sparks as I have before. Or maybe it really is the fact that I can only enjoy every other one of the books he puts out, I don't know.
Generally, I read two of his books and only enjoy one of them.
This book was painfully predictable. (I did actually skim the last couple choppy chapters just to get to the end and prove myself right -- I couldn't take the time to properly finish reading). I hate giving up on a book, and I was so close with this one anyway. But I knew what was going to happen, almost from the start. Do not, I repeat, do NOT use a cookie cutter to write a book. It will come back to haunt you.
Also, my library card was blocked, so I wanted to get this overdue junk back. When my card is blocked, it's like my soul isn't free. (I know, melodramatic).
Anyway, I don't feel like going into it much. The entire thing seemed like a waste of my time, it took me eons to get through (because I was otherwise occupied), and I just wasn't motivated to finish.
Ready to move on to something else.
Oh, and Happy Christmas.
