Urgh, I shouldn’t have bothered. One Star.

  1. @JohnPhilpin it was on a recommended list I got sent, and I was reading into astrology (curious about the mechanics) a little while back so I was interested to see how it could be incorporated into a story. Apparently it was just a catch phrase they threw about in the story with little to no research.

  2. @vishae for discussion / fun … that phrasing at the end … ‘much better written book’ versus ‘much better book’ …. I can imagine a 2*2 matrix with books mapped in to the 4 quadrants … eg file dan brown in good book, badly written etc etc …

    so this book would be both bad and badly written …

    or is it that for you a good book has to be well written aswell ?

  3. @JohnPhilpin oh I can totally agree with the 4 quadrants, and Dan Brown is a perfect example of good story that’s not well written.
    A lot of YA books has an interesting premise that is not executed well.
    This book is both bad and terribly written.
