Bad News and Reviews

Damn what a nightmare, I couldn't access my blog for four days! I've been meaning to post one but couldn't access it. Damn.

Okay today I wanted to do a review on the Fallen Series by Lauren Kate
So this is a series of four books Fallen, Torment, Passion and Rapture and it's like a love triangle between Lucinda Price (Luce Price), Daniel Grigori and Cameron Briel. So it's like a whole big thing because Daniel is trying to keep Luce alive because (SPOILER ALERT) he's a fallen angel and she only lives till she's seventeen. This book is based in Thunderbolt, Georgia US where Luce gets sent to a reform school called Sword and Cross.  But today I wanted to focus on the first book in particular but might go to the others...

 So this is copied from my Goodreads.com account http://www.goodreads.com/ljkerry


At first I loved this book now it is dead meat. At first I felt I have now grown up and a new door of books had been open and that got me reading books my age.

 The authors eyes are just money signs at the moment. Every time I reread it, it gets more boring yes when a new Fallen book comes out I'll reread it but when an authors just focusing on one fan base i.e country your bound to be pissed and find this series boring.

 I like the characters they're cool but the author is getting kinda old fashioned in her writing and making no sense she should have left Fallen as an only book because now the series is just confusing and the story lines been lost.

Okay what I said there is true at the moment Lauren Kate is focusing on her Australian fan base more than her other country fan base and she brought out a book called Fallen in Love
and that had no meaning to the Fallen books at all it gave you an insight into the characters love lives yes but it was the characters we already know lots about. I think this was just a call for money. I really enjoyed this book I was happy with it because it was Lauren's writing when she first started out as an author and she's just gone down hill from there.

 So like when I talk about her writing making no sense and being old fashioned Lauren does tend to repeat herself a little too much in her writing. I have noticed that a lot like you can repeat yourself a little bit to keep your readers up to date but on every page mentioning Luce and Daniels curse is boring. In the third book she completely lost the story line there was just nothing there at all it took me a month to read it when it usually takes as little as four days to read that is how much Lauren dropped her talent, if I was her editor I wouldn't have even allowed that on book shelves and told her to go back to the drawing board.

Let me talk about the main character Luce, I seriously cannot believe this character because Daniel is trying to save her she goes off and has a tantrum and starts jumping through Announcers (weird shadow things) like a retard wanting answers because Daniel won't give her any. Now if my boyfriend did that I wouldn't put my whole friends in danger I'd leave it at that wouldn't ask him again but no Luce goes into the Announcers meets a nice gargoyle named Bill (who I nicknamed Billy Bob by the way) and he befriends her even though he is creepy ass weird I would have walked away from him but no she gets to be friends with him and soon he's the devil and she puts her friends in danger and they have nine days to survive. Dumb idea much I think so...

  So this book series is going to be made into movies and guess who is making it DISNEY, yes DISNEY is making the movies I was so ashamed at Lauren for picking that because Disney is absolutely crap at making teen movies if it were my book I would want a better deal than Disney, Disney is the lowest you can go with book transferring into a movie and I'm being nice about that. So the movie was supposed to be out in 2012 but the only movie update we're allowed to know is that the scripts been finished in January 2012 nothing else we're banned from the rest of the information.

so yeah my little rant about this series is over thank you guys for reading bye!
