Curve Day

Ugh, I hate having to give negative reviews.

Okay, I will start with the positives, because there definitely are some. First off, when I saw this book the premise seemed pretty interesting to me, and it turned out that it really was an interesting story. I definitely wanted to know what was going to happen to the characters during Curve Day, which is what kept me reading until the end.

Now, the negative. I just cannot overlook the myriad of errors. I am not talking a few here or there (which I certainly could have been able to overlook), but I am talking about constant errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation usage, and even messing up characters' names. There were a few times that I had to re-read a section because I did not understand why the character had randomly been switched, only to realize that it must have been some kind of error.

Another issue was that there was not a lot of character development. I kind of became indifferent to a few of them, because I felt like we knew nothing about them, nothing behind their motivations, so why should I even bother to care what happened to them?

My last gripe would have to be the abruptness of the ending. There was so much suspenseful buildup to the Curve Day events, and then when the time came, it felt very, very rushed, especially the last few pages.
