![]() ![]() I really wish YA sci-fi would stop trying to be pnr. Unfortunately, you have to slog through a lot of the fluff to get there. Something about the writing style read as pnr-grade fluffy at the start, but it did breach the realm of sci-fi the further into the book we got. Since we as readers are plopped down into the middle of high school drama right off the bat, I can see how some people might want to possibly bail out early on. I wasn't a big fan of the first half of this story and had to settle in for a while before it started to grow on me. ![]() I can see why the sell might be a little difficult. For a moment, I thought I was in the middle of campaign season and watching one of those "Campaign Opponent X is teh debil" ads. Hey, I'm all for everyone having the right to agree/disagree with whatever's going on out in the "real world," but I'd rather not read about what's distasteful to an author in my books. Just a hunch on my part, but it would appear that this author has an axe to grind with conservatives after reading some of the snide commentary in The Rules. ![]()
