Book: A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
Age-range: 14 and up
Recommended: No
This is one of those books that a friend recommended to me ages ago, but that I just got around to reading. It was not that great. I think it's because I don't really care for the Victorian period. And I'm always irritated when a historically set novel gives the protagonist modern ideals. It's ridiculous.
About halfway through the book I was going to put it down, but felt like I had invested so much time I might as well finish it. Now I wish I hadn't wasted my time. I'm not saying it's a bad book. It might be somebody's favorite book, and that's great. I just didn't care for it at all.

Oh, I did put it down half way through (maybe even less) and returned it to the store. It was awful! How she got to publish it as a trilogy I will never know. Yuck!
