Commentary Supposing Books Betwixt
For three teenagers, dark mystery has always lurked at the corner of the eyes and the edge of sleep. Beautiful Morgan D'Amici wakes in her trailerpark home with dirt and blood under her fingernails. Paintings come alive under Ondine Mason's violet-eyed gaze. Haunted runaway Nix Saint-Michael sees halos of light around people about to die.At a secret summer rave in the woods, the three teenagers learn of their true, changeling nature and their uncertain, intertwined destinies. Riveting, unflinching, beautiful, Betwixt shows a magic as complex and challenging as any ordinary reality.

This book made no sense and didn't really seem to go anywhere. I kept reading because I kept thinking that something of interest would happen-- it didn't so don't bother.When I saw that the latest book to jump off my shelves at me had only a 2.6 star average rating, I admit I wondered what I was getting myself into. It's taken the best part of two weeks for me to read Betwixt and at points it was more a drive to figure out why people hated it so than any enjoyment in the reading that kept me going. I can't say I liked it particularly but I don't think Betwixt deserves that low low rating, particularly when you compare it to some of the higher rated but crappy
I'm not sure where to begin with this book... For me personally, if the cover of a book is, well, ugly then I usually don't even give it a chance. I should have done the same with this book. There were a lot of slow parts where the author could have significantly cut them out. I don't like the use of swear words. I know that profanity is part of daily life, especially for teens, but that doesn't mean it needs to be written. It just makes your book less-likeable unless you use it sparingly and
Yes, this book was just a partial read for me, but having gotten to page 230 before I closed it and gave up, I think I'm justified in saying a few words. The book is set in Portland, Oregon...the city I'd love to live in more than any other, so it had that to its advantage. Some authors have the gift for writing a book that teens can relate to long after their own teen years. This author isn't one of those gifted few. I grimaced or rolled my eyes numerous times as she had the teens speaking in
This review is going to be hard to write, mainly because I want to get my points across without sounding like a rabid maniac. *deep breath* Here goes. I honestly couldn't even get through this book, which really tells you something. Regardless of what I think of a book, I usually (with a few exceptions) try to get through it. Not this time. I got about 50 pages in and decided not to read it anymore. I will list the reasons why:1. The writing is pretty bad, not to mention boring. Even with
Can I just say that this was the worst book I have ever read. I was drawn to the cover, and the plot synopsis made it seem so compelling, but do not fall for it. I repeat, do not fall for it. If you see this seemingly unassuming book on a bookshelf in your local bookstore, stop, back away slowly, no scratch that run! Just kidding, but seriously this book was god awful. The characters are these weird kids who one night all go to this weird party rave druggy thing. They all take these drugs, and
I tried really hard to like this book but I cant really say one good thing about it. It was slow, it was boring, and it was just plain confusing. I forced myself through it hoping I might understand what was going on but when I abruptly found myself on the last page I realized that wasnt going to happen. I can honestly say I have no idea what that book was supposed to be about. Fairys? Hardly. The book was also described as being a "Fantasy romance" that would strongly appeal to Twilight fans
