I can see why you didn't like it (the prose) - I thought it was kinda cool, but if every book were written that way I would probably go crazy :P. I liked both Juliette and Adam though will admit Warner was the most interesting ;).Liz.

I just COULDN'T GET IT, why they loved it so much, and I didn't. It's trippy, seeing people who so vehemently dislike Shatter Me...yet I can understand it this time, I can see how some people would want to run, not walk, away from this one. The prose/language for me, was beautiful...yet at the same time, I can absolutely see how it would be too much. I'm sad you didn't like this one, but your reasons are totally valid! Hopefully you'll find something else you like better. :)<br /><br />Molli | <a href="http://www.onceuponaprologue.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> Once Upon a Prologue</a>Molli @ Once Upon a Prologuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14817317037277260565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-38799167044480132872012-04-18T17:40:10.666+01:002012-04-18T17:40:10.666+01:001 out of 5?!?! ouch!

I haven't read this one. I remember all the hype surrounding it but I read a preview and it didn't grab me, so I didn't buy it. Also, the crossing out of words irked me even after just a few pages, so it's probably not for me. I'm not a fan of flowery language either - never have been, so now it's really sounding like this one is not for me. <br /><br />Not to say that I may not check it out at some point in the future! ;)Leanna Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156147175772720617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-55846152506247869172012-04-17T13:49:22.547+01:002012-04-17T13:49:22.547+01:00I'm SO glad I'm not the only one!!I'm SO glad I'm not the only one!!Caithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185442524972510158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-24859360121793629622012-04-17T13:32:06.640+01:002012-04-17T13:32:06.640+01:00Haha I didn't, I just waited this long to post...Haha I didn't, I just waited this long to post my review ;)Caithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185442524972510158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-45514755968945273442012-04-17T12:32:52.015+01:002012-04-17T12:32:52.015+01:00I'm really sorry that you didn't like this...I'm really sorry that you didn't like this book!

Adam was the typical YA romantic interest who's like "I'll protect you no matter what" even though they know like 2 things about each other. Warner was 10,000 times more interesting than him. And I really didn't like Juliette--her transformation to "resiliency" was unbelievable. Great review.<br /><br />(PS - if you pre-ordered it, why did you wait to read it so long :P?)Christina Reads YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937783114868207494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-33191692800355625252012-04-17T03:15:13.472+01:002012-04-17T03:15:13.472+01:00I'm trying not to sob now, Cait. WHY ARE YOU M...I'm trying not to sob now, Cait. WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME CRY?! I am loaded with The Sads and Stuff. This is horrifying, shocking news. I've reread your review three times now, double checking to make sure my eyes haven't shriveled up and died after all the HTML I've been wading through over the weekend. But, alas, my eyes proved correct. HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME?!<br /><br />I am thoroughly devastated. But, though I can't understand, I love that you're not afraid to outright say I HATE THIS FREAKING BOOK. Or I dislike it very strongly. And that you could back your shizz up with a WHY, and it wasn't as if you were dissing the story. I still <3 you, Cait, even though you hated one of the books that made my heart sing and soar last year. *sniffles*Marathonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998824096375362353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-42665548193391459032012-04-17T01:01:50.311+01:002012-04-17T01:01:50.311+01:00Awww, that's too bad that it was such a big di...Awww, that's too bad that it was such a big disappointment for you. I did end up enjoying it, but I can see why people dislike the writing so much. My personal issue stemmed from the ending which was WAY too X-Menish for me. I was fine with Juliette having Rogue-type powers, but the ending just sent it into being too similar. Anyway, thanks for the honest review and hopefully your next pre-order will be worthy of you ordering it in advance!Steph (Poetry to Prose)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14747170006709274911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-58710122100243771732012-04-16T23:18:31.500+01:002012-04-16T23:18:31.500+01:00Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww Cait.

Which is a shame since we can't be friends anymore now, but it's cool, I'll still secretly stalk you in the night.<br /><br />I kid, I kid (about being friends, I never kid about stalking). I can totally understand why you didn't like it. I think it's one of those books that you either fall into the love or hate category with, especially with Tahereh's style of writing. Warner definitely intrigued me though, even if some of the things he made he do had me screaming at him *stabs*<br /><br />But anyway, sorry you didn't love it like you had so anticipated! :(Brodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389909407256668662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-71520940565777523752012-04-16T21:41:04.811+01:002012-04-16T21:41:04.811+01:00YES!

I was also recently reading a book where the two main characters were just completely in a romantic relationship that felt completely fake, random, and annoying so I know how you feel. An I also don't think I could bear all those crossing outs!

You would've wanted to love this book. I know the feeling. Great honest review! I still haaven't read Shatter Me..before its release, I was SO excited. Like I'd do anything to get my hands on a copy.
