Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

From the first couple of chapters I thought this book would be clumsily penned but at least interesting enough to entertain me for a few hours. The fog was interesting, I was curious to see what mysteries it held and hoped the author was creative and simply unpracticed at writing. Once I downloaded it and got past those first few chapters, however, I realized my gross mistake. The author is not just clumsy at writing, the story itself, the characters, are a study in everything a writer should never do. It read as if it had been written by a sex-obsessed seventh grader. To be fair, I was not able to get very far in the book before I had to stop reading, so I have no idea what conclusion was reached or if anything ever improved in the writing department, but I sincerely doubt it, and frankly I can't imagine that anything would be great enough to make up for the book's faults. It was downright painful to read the idle, idiotic thoughts of the characters as they thought about why they would never do something, followed by a halfhearted thought to the contrary, followed by exaggerated and melodramatic action throwing them in that contrary direction without any good reasoning whatsoever. I kept getting thrown by the absurdity of it, the whole story coming to a screeching halt as I thought, "What? They did what? Why? Where did that come from? They were dead set on not doing that two seconds ago. This is too stupid for words." The villain was equally painful. A girl with pigtails with spikes in them, who apparently attacks people by shaking her head at them. I am not kidding, although I really wish I were. This just about killed it for me all by itself. Read at your own risk.
