Make Up Your Mind Most of the time, I can finish a book, regardless of what I think, if for no other reason than to see how it ends. This is one of those rare few that I couldn't.
I really don't know the reasoning behind the constant altering of the print font, but it got really distracting. And then there was also the shifting from first-person to third-person, which was also distracting. When you shift viewpoints like that, you wonder why the author couldn't find another way to get her point across in a more consistent manner. Pick one, and stick with it. Is that too much to ask?
A really good read. Entertaining and fun. I love to read books, just not fiction. But when I read Fearless I was surprised at how into it I got.
Normally, I like biographical, historical, books of the Bible, Bible commentary, books on theology, and the like. Fiction usually bores me, except for graphic novels (especially Batman!) But in trying to write my own novel, Stephen King suggests that you actually read other people's work in order to learn how to write. I tried a few books by different authors, but had a hard time finding a genre that peaked my interest.
When I heard about the "Fearless" series though, it sounded like exactly the kind of genre I am writing about, and it is. Perhaps that is why I enjoyed this book so much.
Pascal is great at keeping the story going and holding the reader's attention. I look forward to reading book two in the series.
Fearless #1 I actually liked this book more than I thought I would. It was kind of mysterious, but it wasn't a full-out mystery. It was just a really good teen novel. I thought that Gaia was interesting and believeable, even if she is fearless. I wouldn't say that this was a great book, but it was definitely interesting and worth my time.
