Riley’s Reviews > Beautiful Creatures > Status Update

Having read numerous reviews saying that all of the main character's plans are pointless, time wasting, and totally antithetical to forwarding the plot, I find it more difficult to suffer through the endless build up to finding The Book, which will ultimately prove useless.

I like that there's a whole bunch of crap that I don't understand about what's going on, but the main characters do (or possibly just don't care), so none of it's explained. A book that takes the bold step of not including the reader.

Good f**king God! What the hell is wrong with this book? Lena, I get, I get that she has mystical powers or whatever and crazy things sometimes happen to her but Ethan? He's having visions and hearing Lena's thoughts and he's just like, 'eh, just another day'? No. Eff you story.

I feel like I'm missing something. Were I to have a weird dream about someone I'd never met, and then I met them, I would not try to prove to said person that they were in my dream, that I was in my dream, I would just shut up and think it's weird because it's just an effing dream. Seriously, why am I reading this? Glutton for punishment, I am.

I stopped reading for a day and completely forgot the main characters name, he's that awesome. I can only assume the author attempted to make the lead male just for the "novelty" of it but he is so not anything like a teenage boy. And I get it, he hates EVERYTHING, shut up already and start living your life, you whiner!

About three things I was positive. First, Ethan Wates is a total girl. Second, there is absolutely no difference between this book and another whiny YA romance book. And third, I have no idea why I'm reading it.
