olivialandryxo 's review for:
The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding
by Alexandra Bracken
Dnf 61% (page 222)
The plot was alright. The characters were tolerable and even kind of interesting. Parts of this novel were weird, but not in a bad way. I think at one point Alastor used a traffic cone as a hat and even if I’m wrong, the mental image amuses me.
My problem? I was bored. So, so bored. It’s summer, and even with morning classes I could’ve read this in a couple of days. I kept pushing through thinking it would get better, but it didn’t. When I fell asleep reading this morning, I decided it was time to put it down for good.
I skimmed the last 4-5 pages and while it obviously didn’t make complete sense, the end result was predictable from early on.
Unfortunately, Alexandra’s books just don’t work for me. I didn’t finish The Darkest Minds when I read it a couple of years ago, and now this. Nothing against her as a writer or a person, but her writing just isn’t for me.
