Review
****The following book was part of a blog tour, I received a copy in exchange for my honest review****
When I got the e-mail for the tour of
this book I was really excited to read the book, I loved the synopsis and the
storyline seemed original and different from the usual YA novels. The book is
the story of four teens that are left after the end of the world. They all come
from different social groups, but all of them are invited to the same party,
they get locked in a room and end up being the only ones left. I could not get
into this book; my expectations of this book must have been too high, because I
was really disappointed. The entire book seemed to be a cheesy eighties
montage of horror flicks and teen angst movies. I pictured The Breakfast Club
being turned into a horror movie. I thought that the characters were to clique
cliché and the situations were ridiculous. There were a couple things that did
save this book from being a one star, it was fast paced and humorous which
bumped it up to two stars. However, some of the situations that I thought were
funny probably were not supposed to be. The writing itself was good, so I am
interested in seeing other books by this author.
