Caution Very long and very subjective review!
...
At the beginning I was as neutral as Switzerland. I had heard that the book should be a little tough, Mara bit exhausting and ever stand or fall the book with Noah. In my case it falls. It falls and falls and falls still. How can such a good idea, such a good mood and tips starting position vermurksen so ?!
Mara Dyer comes with a wonderful pretty cover. "Lies and Buy Me", it screams. Meanwhile, I begin to fear pretty cover. Similarly, as in "The Selection" is a real monster can quickly hide behind. Here the beginning of the book is made really interesting. Maras friends have died in a house collapse killed - only she survived. Why and why? Well, no idea !!! I thought I would know when I read the book. Unfortunately I was wrong. Only in the last few chapters there for the first time something like answers. Not many, but at least you get the slightest clue as to what might have been. But really? Nada.
Another really good starting point was that Mara's psyche is so cracked. It is similarly interesting to read as "Ultraviolet" whether she is crazy and it's all just imagining. Or if maybe really is something behind their visions and hallucinations. Again, why, why, why? I DONT KNOW !!! The bad part is, this thread gets lost totally in the further course. Once Noah Mara encountered (which must, of course, running behind her like a puppy from the very first second) is not so funny. Instead of an interesting paranormal novel the book drifts into a typical teen romance. What then happened in the house? Could not care less, but Noah has so beautifully ruffled hair.
Noah and Mara as a couple was not for me. He is the Casanova with five women on each page that he (beginning of quote) throws away like used condoms (unquote). So I would pick me! Of course he's filthy rich, totally handsome and intelligent. Later, after all, explains why he has felt attracted directly from Mara. But really had to be so stereotypical? Mara is not so special. But clearly Mara is the first that really arouses feelings in Noah. Of course they are blown away from each other. But not at all clear is the kiss-aversion.
My best times are the two rum, cuddle, hold hands, sleep next to each other. To Schmarn whisper in his ear, yet it is not kissed. Because kissing is apparently evil! Very angry! I do not know if I have the big moment at the end then eventually ignored. But all the time so made a fuss about, that's no longer solemnly. In Earnest? Even in Twilight gabs kiss till you drop! But one must not even move out!
Add to this that Mara is not the brightest star in the sky again. Later, things happen. The first incident, I would think me, perhaps na wars chance. But then it happened again, since it's obvious what's going on. Not for Mara. No, my patience is not rudimentary long enough for this book.
Conclusion: Mara Dyer has a gorgeous cover, a great basic idea, at the beginning even an eerie mood. But when Noah appears on the scene, went for me all down the drain. Forget is the supernatural, forget the past, now is held hands, there's no tomorrow! In the book, just come along so much that makes me shake my head. Fantasy absolutely in the background to the love story, then even a "love-on-the-erts view" love story and on top of that has the protagonist, unfortunately with her memory also lost their minds. Who needs necessarily a Twilight 2.0, only without kisses you want to try it. For me it was nothing.
