review 1: This book is very similar to Tangled... Maybe a little too similar... It felt like some kind of fan-fiction.When you have a book inspired by another one you can't help but compare the two of them, and honestly, almost never the inspired one can live up to it's muse. This is the case here, at least for me. All kept thinking was how much funnier Tangled was, and how much more likable Drew was... Alex was too dirty, too much of a jerk... I was more disgusted by him than charmed.I wonder if I would've liked this book more if I haven't read Tangled... I honestly don't know...
review 2: DNF!!OMG! To think I wasted how long for this book? What a waste of time.The big problem was Alex. Seriously? Him?Let me just start by saying that I had to force myself to not call hi... morem Drew (from the Tangled series) well he was a cheap imitation of him. He reminded me of a seventeen year old boy who thought he knew everything about women but actually knew nothing. The fact that a woman wrote this book is shocking. Dre- Sorry-Alex- is supposed to be TWENTY-NINE YEARS OLD! Almost thirty, and he acts like that??? I'm sorry. No. It was so unattractive it's not funny. It would be OK if he was actually twenty one or something but like I said, he's nearly thirty and that's how he behaves? I haven't read Jane Austen (I know..blah blah blah) but if Alex is "Modern day Mr.Darcy" I feel sorry for myself if that's who I have to look forward to. He was nothing but a spoilt rich kid.Umm what's her name... I can't remember (she was that forgettable) was just soo..um I don't know. She didn't really make an impact on me. She was just stupid for believing the jock she was with. (That whole situation was so stupid from the beginning, I have yet to see the point of it) But I also don't see why she was so quick to jump into bed (or the kitchen counter) with Alex.Besides the characters, I thought the book rambled too much. From the very first chapter I had a hard time trying to work out what was going on. It started off in the present then went back (which I hate..again, Tangled series) but it didn't say that, and it left me confused for a while. Also it was told from Alex's POV, which is like listening to a pre teen boy ramble on about sex. And he did that a lot..ramble. It got pretty annoying.Also, there were a few mistakes, like missing letters of a word or and extra word in a sentence. Normally I would look this over, but this book took ages to finally come out so you have to wonder what was happening all that time.Well to sum up, I thought this book was just a massive let down. Is is just me, or do rich arrogant men who sleep around so much not attractive anymore? Because I'm tired of reading the same thing over and over again. less
