Reviews for Paranormalcy
Dissatisfactory
The plot was average, and definitely cliche. The problems the protagonists met along the way were kind of conveniently solved that it took quite a bit of the fun away. Add to that, some of the scenes and dialogues were pretty ridiculous and overly-mushy, it gave me goose pimples.
Story aside, let's talk about the characters. The female protagonist worshipped the color pink. Not that I am against pink, it's that squealing at and donning glittery pink satin dresses is just isn't my thing, y'get what I'm saying? And she isn't as cool as what the synopsis got me to think, so she didn't live up to my expectations. At all. So no, I didn't like this aspect of the story. And since she IS the female PROTAGONIST, I had to flip through three hundred odd pages of her gay-ness and incompetence, I couldn't find it in me to like her.
One plus point though - White can be a killer comedian. Lol, I really liked her humor, that I can give credit. You have to read it to believe it, people, haha.
To wrap things up, this book didn't quite do it for me. After getting to the THE END, I felt...nothing. So emotionally barren. Which is not right, cause after reading a book (or should I say, MOST good books) I'll usually have this whole barrage or myriad of feelings bombarding me that I'll stone and sit there thinking about what I've just read. This one didn't.
When I start a series, I'd usually follow through but this time after reading both this book and the synopsis of the next book, SUPERNATURALLY, I think I'll pass. But I do still want to congratulate White for getting the movie deal. It sure is a major step-up in her career. Cheers! by CYP
