Poorly written and boring!
922653
Characters were bland, boring, and immature. The plot was cliche. Its hard to believe that the author was ever a teenager because her characters are so unbelievable.

This book is such a bore! I took the book on a 5-hour flight, looking forward to be entertained. I threw it in the trash on arrival, after painstakingly reading my way through it... since I had only one book! It has been written a few decades ago and it really shows. Most of the book is spent describing the nascent love between a submarine captain and a young Australian sassy airhead drunkard, through frivolous 2-cents dialogs they have in bars and parties. Half of the rest describes Australian social life. The other half recounts how the war happenned. No adventure, no action, no thrill, no discovery, no exploration, no mystery... Nothing... Certainly not the book I ll take on desert island or in an anti-atomic shelter!

So boring and poorly written, I did not even finish it. Why so many people ranted and raved about it, I am not sure. I cannot even remember what happens after the opening scene, that is how unremarkable the book was. Save your money if you like interesting character developement and plot lines.

I checked this book out of the library rather than purchasing it and I am so glad as that would have been money down the toilet. I second what many said here: poorly written and just plain boring.  I hope it was interesting to the author but I can't see too many other people being drawn in by her narrative.  It is good she has a day job as writing clearly isn't her best skill despite her repeated reports of her superior intelligence.

This book is just so badly written that you would struggle to read through a page without re-reading to understand what the author is trying to say. There is no flow to the writing, the grammar is so atrocious that you can't get by 1 paragraph without errors, and the book seems to have just patches of information that jumps from one point to another.

Opened this book expecting to read  some basics about Bitcoin and the bad writing just hit me in the face.

Couldn't read more than half - got so bugged and then stopped. Downloaded the book for free but even for a free book, this is so disappointing!

It took me a bit to write this review in my journal, two days I think because I didn't even know where to start.

I got to page 128 and I just couldn't do it anymore. The writing is subpar at best and honestly, its rather boring. Even the teaser is boring. If all it is, is a jealous teen who feels no remorse for what she did and the foster kid duking it out, I have no interest.

It would have been better if it was written as a fantasy thriller or even just working off of the story of the girl and her mom. I don't know, Ive seen some reviews and I know some people like this stuff but theres just no urgency for me.

I think a book about the life of the mom and girl would have been much better. The readers get a glimpse of that life with the first couple of chapters and I think it would have made a better story.

It just seems to stall and become very predictable. I have the second book but Im not going to read it if I cant even be bothered to read this one.

Really absurd and actually quite boring. I should have believed the previous reviews! It started out very well but the writing just became loose and fatiguing to read to the end!

Such a disappointment, considering how well written the scripts were for the TV series!  This is dull stuff and does not appeal to me either as a fan of Shakespeare or of The Doctor.  Boring, trite, sophomoric, weak, and just not worth the money or the time to read it.  Seems like it was written just to cash in on Dr. Who fans' willingness to buy anything related to the show.  Ugh!!

I gave this book my attention all the way to the end and finally, when it was finally over, all I wanted was my time back. The writing is sub par, poorly researched from a historical prospective. Worse than that though is the overwhelmingly repetitive story telling. The characters go through the same turmoil page after page, the love scenes are written almost in duplicate. They kissed, he touched her rear.... The book was not a page turner at all, except that I kept hoping it would end. There is no tension, poorly developed plot. Save yourself the money and even if you find this book free, save yourself the time.

This book was a very slow read and very boring. The story line was very disconnected. The Demon King Noah came off Whimpish and Very Afraid to make decisions. Their was nothing powerful about his character. Kestra his soul mate; I only felt pity for her because as a young teen she had been stalked, terribly beaten, raped and stabbed so badly she was left not able to have children. Why  Frank felt this kind of abuse to young teen girl would make her book more interesting is a mystery, because it di not!!! Very badly written!!

Poorly written story full of grammatical mistakes. The main character isn't very likeable and the story is full of cliches. Unlike another book that i read by Eleanor Calder who developed a well rounded character in her Death of a... series. This book falls short in both talent, likability and being memorable. I had to force myself to read to the end. It was boring, bland and not fun at all.

Sorry but i had to tell the truth. If you want something that is fun, with lots of twists and character check out Death of a celebrity by calder.

This book was poorly written and the plot and storyline was very juvenile.  A complete waist of money I couldn't even finish the entire book because of its poor content.  I love a good urban read but this was just a mess, from what parts I actually read.  The sex scenes were worthless as well.  I stopped half way through the book because I just couldn't take it anymore! The author needs to try a little harder next time.

I found this book really boring, poorly written and full of sentences that would belong better to fortune cookies than into a book. Very disappointed and very surprised about the good reviews it has. Maybe I had different expectations. It feels like one of those ..."Anything "for dummies type of book.
Wrapped in a pseudo-philosophical container, the book actually, in my opinion, doesn't talk about anything at all. The author did an excellent job in making it look like it is about something.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

Written very poorly, like an uneducated teenager would write.  It was very monotonous and boring.  Read 1/3rd of the book and that was it.

I was excited to read Melissa Sue Anderson's book being a Little House fan. I read Melissa Gilberts memoir and could not put it down. This book was so dull! I actually skimmed over a lot of it. It is so much of retelling each episode she had a big part in. Bit by bit... I know all of the episodes by heart so I just glanced over these parts. The writing was horrible... like she sat in front of the tv and just wrote a synopsis of the episodes. I honestly do not know why she even bothered writing this book! I am so glad that I only paid $1 for it in a thrift store!
