Not enough for me to give it up, but enough to take note that it’s not the most amazingly written book you’ll ever read.Īnd, there’s this big “surprise” that’s revealed at the very end, which I called halfway through the book. Ruby Red, though, I definitely noticed the writing. I know everyone loves to trash on Twilight for being poorly written, but frankly, I never noticed (clear proof that I am a serious student of literature, etc). If you’re picky about writing, this book may bother you a bit (it’s translated from German). That didn’t stop me from reading it in about a day and a half. I am nothing if not prompt.I checked Ruby Red out in Texas, but didn’t manage to get through it before we moved, so it was one of the first books I requested when I got my library card in North Carolina.įirst off, the Ruby Red series is NOT high-quality literature – it’s definitely in the “fluffy YA” pile. So, now in the middle of August, here’s the July book of Tell Me What to Read.
