S.I.R by Samantha Knight Review

When I got this book I looked at the title and I saw the cover and thought to myself, "Man this looks really good and interesting!"

I started reading and it was okay at first, not too slow or fast and it held my interest.  The problems occurred when I realized that the chapters went back and forth between perspectives.  In some books that's great, not a problem at all because some authors know how to do it right.  Sadly, in this case, Samantha Knight didn't seem to get the concept.  She would have chapters in one perspective and then another chapter in a different perspective.  Now that can lead to an interesting book but in this case, for the most part, it seemed that it did not.  The chapters over lapped for the most part but some had details others didn't.  I would read the chapter from one perspective and the next chapter would end up being almost the previous one just from someone else's view.

One of the biggest problems seemed to be lack of vocabulary variation.  What really stood out to me was when the guys addressed each other.  It went like this "hey man, sup man, hey bro, sup dude" and other variations like that.  And then there was the whole he says, he says, he says or she says she says she says.  A lot of the book conversations ended with says or say and it got to be very annoying.
The book would go at a good pace but then it would go too fast and then it would go too slow, in my opinion, and I had to force myself to finish the book and continue to give it a chance.

I finished the book and was so annoyed by the ending that I thought I would give the book the "honor" of being my first review.

If I knew more about the book now than I did before I would not have read the book and I know that I will not read the book again.
