Book Review

Switched by Amanda Hocking

Seventeen-year-old Wendy Everly lives with her aunt and brother in an attempt to control the chaos of her life. Her mother tried to kill her on her 6th birthday, and since then her life has been nothing but disastrous. But with the help from Finn Holmes, she uncovers a world she never knew existed - a world both beautiful and frightening.

I wasn't able to connect with the character that well, Wendy is whiny and annoying. It felt as if she was never the heroine in this story. The plot was a bit disappointing, it was inconsistent and weak. The progression of the character was slow and somewhat uneventful. There were scenes that weren't really necessary. The most interesting parts were the last few chapters of the book and some suspenseful parts but there's nothing really to it.

Overall, I wouldn't read this book again. I would recommend this book to those who enjoy cliches and troll stories.
