If i cracked this is for three reasons:
First of its coverage that my once typed in the eye and reminded me of the excellent Covenant broken hearts.
then for his summary that presaged a Young Adult as I love them.
jaime finally because virtually all romances published by La Martinière Jeunesse.
Three points that promised me a nice reading. Except that i almost did not finish. I stopped at the end of a hundred pages and I have practically brought two weeks before my back. Then I got over my because I does not like giving up along the way. And after a hundred new pages, I told myself that I nallais ever managing to finish it but i struggled and spent half the novel while sest accelerated and I have been unable to let go until the end. And what a finish!
First of it is essential that we speak of a trick that my slightly raised eyebrows even hallucinate and even downright angry that my! Our two heroes (who are still in high school) is vouvoient until page 84! Eighty-four pages in which kids aged 16-17 to vouvoient! No, but are you kidding me? (Must jarrête series.) What makes it super heavy text, super long and far too valuable for the genre. It made me laugh at first and when I saw that it was prolonged my exasperated. Ridiculous.
Then, after reading the summary, impossible not to think of Romeo and Juliet. And impossible not to think about it throughout our reading. And a Romeo and Juliet is not really my favorite story (me I need the happy ending), but more especially at the beginning, this is done in a way so melodramatic that it becomes ridiculous. Totally over-played, worse than the actors of a soap opera (or soap opera as we would say Quebec cousins) (it always makes me laugh).
If you add more completely flat characters too in excess, with families who play the most unusual family, more torn, the most terrible, we end with a contest for the most pathetic family. Sprinkle all of a drug trafficking zest, dalcoolisme, gang warfare, and you understand why i almost stopped my reading a number of times.
For now, what I'm saying this is pretty bad but from half of the novel, when things start to saccélérer (even if it sometimes remains a tad ridiculous) I have not been able to release my book and I have really started to mattacher Mickey (Mouse) (ok, I go out, but it was too tempting) and Victoria. The novel starts to really move and we can not wait to see how it will end for all our stakeholders.
I will talk for thirty seconds of the characters. Victoria, it ny not much to say except what a little too perfect, what carries the weight of the world on his shoulders and even if i had trouble for her I found a little self-absorbed lai by time and behavior Mickey face really means to others. Mickey, it's a little bad boy classic even if he is far away to arrive at the height other bad boys well known (the Fuentes brothers Simone Elkeles for example). By cons, there is a character who is really out of the batch for me is Ethan, Mickey's half-brother. Ethan is much more complex I think what one wants us to believe and that is not so bad in the background think that lon. Some mountain passages that he really did believe there were grounds to believe in him and I hope to really not fool me with why not a novel that would be for him in the future?
In fact I think his main fault, this is jen have read that many others like that and suddenly I become really difficult. I wait a little perfection with more new things. And I believe that these new I have them in a sil next novel comes a day (for the moment I havent seen any info on it). But after reading lépilogue, it really is that it forced a suite but there is more, if this result follows lépilogue well, I think I'll have that suffers freshness that I havent been here. I'll watch Lucy Connors in the months to come!
Here, I have hesitated between a 2.5 / 5 and a 3/5 and then i finally validate the 3/5 because i really want to read more which therefore means that it is not so bad as that.
Roméosement Yours,
