Whiskey Dialogues

I like to read books and make comments about them. Sometimes snarky, sometimes comical, and sometimes I've been drinking whiskey.
SPOILER ALERT!
Across the Universe (Across the Universe Series #1) (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) - Beth Revis

Okay, so I really liked the idea of this book.  The idea that people were frozen and transported for 300 years to another planet to inhabit it and make it livable.  Cool.  That is pretty much the only reason I gave it as many stars as I did.

But the book was entirely too predictable and there was nothing about any of the characters that made me really like them.  They were flat and just not all that believable.  I think it took Amy way too long to really freak out about her situation, the romance between Elder and Amy was boring and almost non-existent.  I SUPPOSE I appreciate the fact that the book wasn't over-run with their romance, but if you're going to introduce their feelings at all, try to make it a little more interesting.

 

One character I really liked was Harley.  He had personality and charm.  And of course, the one character out of the entire book that had an substance to me ends up committing suicide.

I won't give up, though.  I'll read the next book and hope that the story comes alive somehow.
