I can see how it sounds inappropriate. T...Ew, yeah. I can see how it sounds inappropriate. The guy probably should have used a different title. 0,o<br /><br />Well, the story couldn't really have moved forward without all the bad-boy stuff. I just didn't enjoy having to read all about it. >,<<br /><br />Yeah, DON'T make your hero perfect in a story. Give him/her a dark and mysterious past, a weakness, a fatal flaw in their personality, a funny idiosyncrasy, something!<br /><br />And when you say the character is supposed to be a robot, even though it looks exactly like a human girl, write it like it's a <b>robot</b>, NOT a girl!<br /><br />Thanks so much for the comment, Jacoby. I do hope you read more of my reviews, not only skim them. ^_^Magentahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079033662798955544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963227643926798298.post-20547092880123593412010-09-10T16:19:40.359-07:002010-09-10T16:19:40.359-07:00I really liked your review of this book. I almost ...I really liked your review of this book. I almost didn't click it because the name was Girl Parts. But knowing you, it wouldn't be inappropriate, so I took a chance and opened it anyways.<br /><br />I liked the idea of a robot helping with disassociation. I also think the storyline sounds riveting, even if I now know the ending of it.<br /><br />I can see your point with the first gripe you had. Yeah, I'm sure all of the 'bad-boy' stuff was just....not to be mentioned. whatever, I'm more interested in the next 2 anyways ^.^<br /><br />You mentioned that she was TOO PERFECT. When I first heard that concept it was with a tv show that was quite popular. My friend told me that while he loved the show, the main character was too perfect. he had no flaws, he was able to overcome ever obstacle, everyone who met him liked him. At fisrt I honestly couldn't see the problem with that. But as I thought about it I realized this made characters really 2d.<br /><br />There is no growth or development in the characters. Also the characters become 'Supermans' where they can tackle any obstacles with little resistance.<br /><br />Moving on because I don't think I'm making much sense. I understand what you mean when she was too perfect. She was supposed to be a robot, but it seemed like the author was still envisioning a real human being and it SHOWED in his work. I can understand how that would be annoying.<br /><br />She disappears in the end? That is disappointing.<br /><br /><br />While the cover was attractive, and the storyline did seem interesting, I honestly feel like I have just read the entire book in about 5 minutes. I loved your review and will defiantly be checking out your others! (I normally skimmed them)J.N. Future Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272091026545783041noreply@blogger.com
