You

by Charles Benoit

You're surprised at all the blood. This wasn't the way it was supposed to go. You're just a typical fifteen-year-old sophomore. This can't be happening to you. But then, how do you explain the blood? How do you explain how you got here in the first place? Maybe if you can figure out where it all went wrong, you can still make it right. Think fast. Time's running out...

DNF @ 20 pages. The point of view is alienating. It's not "fresh" and "unique" as some desperate writers seem to convince themselves, but annoying and altogether alienating. I'm a blogger and have read my fair share of articles all about the "you", and they've the same affect. It's too controlling; it removes the ability for everyone to at least have a chance to relate, because the writer is assuming the reader will think a certain way. Someone a different age, gender, etc. than me would be easier to relate to in first or third person—actually possible, even, easiness aside. I bought this book because I thought the blurb was just being quirky.

It's rather crap.
