This one doesn't quite sound like it manages to avoid that problem.

The premise is interesting enough and I loved how you described the themes in the book, but I also noticed that the characters seemed less important, which is a very important aspect in a good read for me. Loved the review, but probably will pass on the book.Jan von Harzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911676835023825470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-11776293276654132772011-07-18T10:55:12.454+01:002011-07-18T10:55:12.454+01:00Too bad that the ending was disappointing.

I had huge expectations from this book, but almost every review I have read for The Raising says that the characters are not very likeable.<br />Thanks for the review!Mishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987790171985663765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-47438874999436320242011-07-18T10:44:18.918+01:002011-07-18T10:44:18.918+01:00Sorry it was disappointing for you!

I do like the cover though - the makeup for the girls are gorgeous and it's eye catching to me for some reason. It's unfortunate it doesn't live up to its premise.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629286727932554109noreply@blogger.com
