Balise reviewed The Awakening by L. J. Smith (The Vampire Diaries, #1)
Review of 'The Awakening' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
Was happy to finish this one. Incredibly boring. High-school girl meets high-school vampire, both brood for 300 pages. Essentially no plot, except maybe in the last 70-pages, characters that have no substance, not a drop of any humor whatsoever (except maybe unvoluntary in the stylistic choices). I wondered if maybe I had read too much of this style and was bored by the tropes/clichés of said style, but I don't think it's the only reason why I really didn't like it. Oh well, I won't read the following ones :)
