* Actually 1.5 stars

I’ve heard raving reviews about this book and this series — other bookworms and bloggers praise and obsess over it. I was eager to get into it when I found a copy at my local library.

And then I actually started reading. I tried to like it. I tried to push through and find out for myself exactly what made other bookworms and bloggers love it so much. But I just couldn’t do it, and I’m sad to say I DNF’d it 48% through (page 198 to be exact).

The plot was boring and slow and I couldn’t get attached to any of the main characters. I’m sad to say that for me personally, The Raven Boys didn’t live up to the hype surrounding it. :(
