| review: | I’m going to agree with the readers who said this book had a great concept, but fell flat with the writing style. A few reviews ago, someone said that the third person narrative made the story “detached” which might have been intentional, we are viewing the story the same way Janie is viewing the dreams, an outsider with no real connection to what we see, viewing things through others’ eyes. Which fits with the story perfectly, but doesn’t really allow for much character development. I think this book will pull in many teens, it’s a quick read, the story is interesting, and it holds some edge. But, without that connection to the story (even if the lack of it reflects the concept of the book) I can’t rate it any higher than “a good book.” It falls solidly in the “good teen read” group without branching into anything deeper. |
