review 1: Good god. I'm never reading this ever again. I tried to read it, I really did, but I barely made it through the first three chapters and decided it wasn't worth it. The pace was too slow, and I didn't feel like I was part of the story. The narrating seemed so detached and distant, and the book is just a piece of descriptive writing. What happened to the excitement, to being alive and real???!!! NO! Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Really disappointing. I looked at the synopsis and was like wow the cover is beautiful, and it seems pretty interesting. Fact: I wasted my time!!!!!!!!! I swear, if I ever saw a book worse than this.......
review 2: Ok so when I said I read this, I meant that I tried to read "The Fire Opal." I wanted to like this book. I really did. But after re... moreading the first one hundred pages and skimming a little after that, I finally had to put the book down. The main character- I forgot her name already- was just a little too boring. I felt like I was reading a book about a simpleton who wasn't all there. Not very engaging, I thought. And then there was supposed to be this hot villian that wanted to marry her? Let's just say that mustaches aren't exactly attractive in my book. And he tortured animals as a child, if I remember the little bit that I read correctly. So all we really knew about his character and why he was bad was basically that he was born to be a villian. That's pretty much how I interpretted this.I did want to like this book, but when a book is so boring that I can't even finish it, I would say that this isn't worth your time. Maybe "The Fire Opal" is for some people, but it just wasn't for me. less
