Advantages: Good Plot

Disadvantages: Long Winded

This book, started by the author when he was just fifteen, has recieved excellent reviews everywhere and even had a film made. The story and plot are fantastic and good description is used throughout the book. Yet, I never got hooked onto it. It was just so long winded and nothing happened at all for ages. Sometimes, there'd be a whole page just describing one thing, I felt like saying "okay, i've got the picture, can you please do something interesting now!"
That put aside, it did pick up towards the end and like I said, the actual storyline is superb. I guess this book is just not the one for me, as I prefer an action packed book with something happening all the time. The film reflected the book well but wasn't so long and boring.
Needless to say, I did not go on to buy the rest of the books.
My Experience: Took me 4 times to actually read the book til the end.

Summary: Just not for me.
