Ι'm nearly finished with this one. And it is quite good:
PROS:
-The author has a uniquely wonderful way of writing, and saying things.
-The trick of the numbers (counted times) is very nice, the strike-through fonts (erased sentences) also a good idea, but both are intense in the beginning and fading through the book. I think the writer should keep this system more updated, during the whole book.
-The shining, silver fish hook waiting on the end of e-v-e-r-y chapter. Ms. Mafi has done this one really nicely.
CONS: The story. It reminds me of a strainer, filled with holes everywhere. And the characters. They are in a place (emotionally) where the romantic reader would want them to be, but how they got there is another issue, not balancing on logic. Anyway. A little more thought should have been given to the plot. Sure, it keeps you want to read a little more, to see what happens, but... The story will not stay in your mind afterwards. It could have been much more powerful, the concept of 'I touch you-you die' has potential.
That's that.
