I usually only write good reviews but I'll make an exception for this book
I rarely will sit down and write something negative about a book I read. I usually will only tell others how much I enjoyed something, this book is different. With over 3,300 reviews and a 4.5 star average rating I was looking forward to reading it despite the few critical reviews I did read, one of which said it was like a 'Scooby Doo episode.' At first when I read that review I thought "Scooby Doo? Really?" But after reading it, I completely agree. I do not understand how this book could get such a high rating. It was poorly written, with repeated trite phrases like referring to a snowstorm as "Snowmageddon" and calling one character "Rodent face." I am not talking about a few times, literally dozens of times. The plot was thin and sophomoric, and the few attempted twists were entirely predictable. The only reason I finished it was because I hate starting anything and not finishing. In short, do not waste your time.
