Beautiful Creatures by Margaret Stohl, Kami Garcia
3.0
I was really amped for the book after seeing the movie trailers. I was still really excited about the book up until page 480 something, then it kind of went down hill, Lena got STUPID I mean how do you get to about 90% of the book then decide oh I want to go be pretend friends with the people who have been ruining my life? Some of the book didn't seem to flow for me a lot of the stuff felt like it was just through in there, The big Family secret was ruined because I've watched the preview a hundred times and I'm constantly on IMDB looking up the cast and about them. SO I wasn't surprised in the least (my fault I know)
Anyway as with most books I read this book started off with 5 stars then dwindled down to 4 because I felt some of the things could have been summed up a little shorter (or maybe its my fault I waited to the last minute to read & I felt rushed) but Lena's last minute stupidity almost had me throwing the book at the wall so I knocked off another star, and honestly I wanted to knock off another because of the sorry excuse for the "big standoff" it kind of fell flat for me. However it was still an enjoyable read like I said I was totally into it until about 90% of the way (drawn out and all). Hell Maybe there is a chance that I will really enjoy the movie and my opinion on the book will change and I will Love it, Who knows...
