Infinity (Chronicles of Nick, #1)
by Sherrilyn Kenyon
by Sherrilyn Kenyon
THE WORST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ.
The writing is stilted, the story is dull, it doesn't make sense. The main character is a complete waste of space - I didn't like him at all, and was glad when bad things happened to him. There is no explanation for anything, and things happen for no reason at all; nothing is ever explained, or acknowledged. Things just happen, and are put across in this terrible attempt-funny style of writing that's just disjointed and lazy. Not to mention that the protag's condition and continual sympathy-seeking is shocking. OK, we get it, your mum's an exotic dancer, you live in a run-down house, you're some child prodigy scholarship kid, yet you talk like an idiot and don't have a grain of intelligence or sympathy. We don't need to hear, every second line, that you're poor and you've never had this much before - we don't need to hear constantly that you're hard done by, and then see you sabotage EVERYTHING your mother has worked for so you can feel like a tough guy. You are a lame, lame character. You have no admirable traits.
Phew.
Glad I got that off my chest. Do not read this book. It is a waste of time and brain cells. I'm surprised Kenyon even managed to get it published.

From what I've read you need to have read the "dark hunter" series in order to really "get it". Which it pretty stupid considering it was written for different audience. I am about 2/3s of the way through this novel and not impressed. Mostly because, like you said, it doesn't make a ton of sense.
I completely agree. NOTHING made sense, and there were like 20 characters!!!! I hated this book! Never judge a book by it's cover because this one had an awesome cover but seriously was soooooooooooo terrible! Never read!
