I wasn't paying enough attention to Juliette to know if she was worse than Bella, but she was a prat. *nods*Amber (Books of Amber)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01750403330691361583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-45916873843490121202013-10-19T17:55:33.655+01:002013-10-19T17:55:33.655+01:00I'm with you on both Adam and Warner, they bot...I'm with you on both Adam and Warner, they both are not attractive AT ALL. Adam seems a little too picture-perfect for me. The way Juliette describes him, he might have well created the entire planet. Warner, meanwhile, was everything you said: a lunatic, abusive, and just plain UGH.Kelly https://www.blogger.com/profile/16309188388542940162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-24231534973206794752013-10-19T12:02:54.701+01:002013-10-19T12:02:54.701+01:00I loved this book,but I can understand why you did...I loved this book,but I can understand why you didn't.Juliette was not a tolerable heroine and the writing can be a little complicated.But at the time when I read it,it seemed unique and original.Mishma @ Chasing Faerytaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15253047767404480728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-60353373652078622612013-10-17T09:42:46.657+01:002013-10-17T09:42:46.657+01:00THANK YOU so much for this review.

It was SO disappointing and I'm sorry but I didn't think the writing was beautiful it didn't make sense half the time and I hated it. Oh my god I hated so much *starts hyperventilating* Juliette actually earned my top spot for most hated character EVER.

I recently downloaded the audio book and now I'm really curious as to how it's going to translate to audio since you mentioned words being scribbled out and all that.

It seems so annoying that this book is being marketed as a dystopian when it clearly sounds like a romance novel. And the confusing love triangle seems really disappointing.

A lot of the things you said were things that started to bother me slightly in Unravel Me. The first book I loved and especially because the writing is so incredibly beautiful, but in Unravel Me I wanted more world-building. I'm not even *that* excited about Ignite Me. But we'll see. Aaaaaaaanyway, we need to discuss what we're gonna do with Epic Recs next month. And stuff.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169574717441851611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-80016859594897722722013-10-16T16:29:10.521+01:002013-10-16T16:29:10.521+01:00I really liked this one!

It drives me absolutely crazy, but oddly enough <i>Unravel Me</i> is my favorite book of the year so far. *shrug*<br /><br />I can understand why you didn't like Warner, but OMG I love him! I do have a thing for the villainous characters and there was just something about him that drew me in and won't let me go!<br /><br />Angie @ <a href="http://pinkindle.net" rel="nofollow">Pinkindle Reads & Reviews</a>Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631988902905292014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-21393975823218109652013-10-16T15:41:11.757+01:002013-10-16T15:41:11.757+01:00I've heard mixed things about the writing-styl...I've heard mixed things about the writing-style, at least that was something you could enjoy.

I picked up Shatter Me at the library sale since it was $1, but I think it'll stay on the shelf since it doesn't sound like I would enjoy it at all D:Anya @ On Starships and Dragonwingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966260114472122150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-20618822695234030312013-10-16T14:12:52.858+01:002013-10-16T14:12:52.858+01:00I LOVED THIS BOOK!

She was sooooo boring and so plain and just overall so frustrating I was pulling my hair out.<br />Adam was okay I guess.<br />Warner, like you said is a real half-arsed villain. Just a tantrum-throwing sissy.<br />The love was very in focus, I agree, and it bothered me as well, but not Adam/Juliette love. I guess I do count the history, but that's a rare positive point for the book. Overall, like you said, the dystopia is just a mask. And that was my biggest issue. No world-building, nothing. I did like the ending so I will read on, and that's the only reason I gave the book 3 *, which I am beginning to regret,Ulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347043469153303773noreply@blogger.com
