Well I still really liked this book, but I'm not sure if I can count it in one of my faves anymore. I still really love the story and overall concept - they are so unique and wonderful that it's hard NOT to love them. However the writing is so SO bad. It's something I definitely wouldn't have noticed as much years ago, but it's really bad. The character development is definitely lacking as well, and the characters being SO YOUNG (aka not 18) kinda makes things like romances a little icky. SO I STILL LIKED IT but I now have more issues with it. At least now I recognize them!

Review # 2 was written on 2012-04-28 00:00:00 Pekka J�ppinen Meet Bob Now we can tell that Bob is going to work but what is his job? He could be a businessman, a lawyer, a clown, an assassin, a secret agent, a doctor, or that might not even be his briefcase at all! What about his personality? He looks happy in this picture but what if one of his friends just died and he's trying to look happy since that's what his friend wants? What if he has an evil plan inside that head of his? The thing is... We don't know Bob. That's what I felt like when I read this book. I knew all of the character's names and maybe what they did but they didn't have any personality. The lacked the pizzazz I need in characters. I absolutely love time travel but I had a hard time getting through this book since they didn't feel alive. I probably knew them as much as Bob.
