Book Blog #3

I have no clue how I did it, but somehow I managed to suffer through Burning Blue. I didn't enjoy it that much and it was boring. Still, the best thing about the book was the authors writing style but due to lack of creativity the book was predictable.

My favorite character by far was Jay. Jay is a hacker/loser that gets made fun of because he had a seizure in front of the whole school and peed his pants (another glimpse at the writer's "genius" creativity).
 "Jay understands how it feels to be treated like a freak, and he also has a secret: He's a brilliant hacker. But the deeper he digs, the more danger he's in - and the more he falls for Nicole."

Even though this quote makes this book sound horrible, it describes him perfectly.

Of course the loser guy no one talks to falls in love with the now relatable former school beauty.  *sigh* Hooray for 21st century writing... Currently Im reading another one of my favorite author's books, 1984. I have never found a book that smart and well written other than Animal Farm. which is another one of Orwell's books. Ill talk about that later though.

As time progresses, is the quality of writing going down? Because it seems to me like it is.

  2. You're right Matt, writing is not what it use to be. I love the sarcasm you use really shows how you feel about this book.
