Okay, I'm just going to stop reading it now. Sure the reviews say it has great mythology, but I don't want to waste my time since I'm already not enjoying it. Here would be my review if I was writing it like Houck writes this book in the character of Kelsey:

"Kelsey sat down to write the review for the book she dutifully read last night so she could get an A on her homework. Kelsey's parents were dead, but her awesome foster-parent-people-things wouldn't care she was up so late. She was so excited to leave for India with a complete stranger to take care of a tiger she met in a random, two-week temp job she took up for some unknown reason. What fun! The tiger was beautiful and white and didn't even bite her hand off when she naively pet him. Somehow they were connected..."

This is how the book felt to me. Like something I would have written in 6th grade had I been obsessed with tigers. Instead I wrote in this style in 5th grade with my obsession with dragons. Yeah, I'm gonna put this book down and move on.
