*Warning: I tell the entire "plot" of the story*
This book wasted my reading time. I could have read a much better novel. It was boring, not scary, boring, boring, the characters are bad, it has no plot and it's really boring. How is this literature?
First of all, this book wasn't scary. I like to read thrillers and I like to feel that rush after I get them. The title is, "Beating Heart: A GHOST STORY". Ghost stories should be a little scary at times. It even has a creepy house as the cover, creepy houses are supposed to be scary.
Second, the words in the book were boring. I have to give credit to the author because the poem style when the ghost was talking was kind of cool and the words took up a lot of pages so I sped by through the book. But it was still boring, like everything else. For example, on page 135 it says, "He leafs through a few more; then, bored, decides to go grab a snack and see if Mom's off the computer so he can get online. He leaves the papers scattered on the desk." There are so many different ways to write this. Conclusion: the book wasn't interesting.
Thirdly, the book had no plot. Here I'll sum up the entire novel for you. A teenage boy moves into a house inhabited by a ghost, the ghost thinks the teenage boy is her boyfriend. The teenage boy thinks a bout sex. The End. It has no rising action! Not even a climax!
Lastly, the characters were bad. Lets start off with Evan. Evan is a douche bag. He's your typical teenage boy. He thinks about sex, has posters on his wall, he eats a lot and he has a girlfriend. His girlfriend, Carrie, is nice, really pretty and easy to talk to (sometimes). She also loves Evan, Evan doesn't love her back but he STILL tells her that he loves her! Rude! At the end of the book Carrie dumps Evan because Evan only likes her because every time they see each other, they do it. Also, towards the end of the book Carrie goes over to Evans house, while Evan is babysitting, and they do it. What kind of people do that?!
In conclusion (ew I just wrote an essay), don't waste your time with this book. It made me laugh how dumb it was. Dumb is an understatement, I'm being nice. This book had no plot. It was badly written. The characters were huge idiots. And overall, it was SO incredibly boring.
