Honestly..............I didn't enjoy Switched by N R Walker..........I know...be gentle here...
because I am in the minority.........but let me give a quick rundown on why I felt MEH about this story - I am not going too deep into the plot because it has been discussed on all the previous reviews.....so just a few pointers here!!!
-Sam, Iz's best friend who becomes his lover............drove me absolutely bonkers....I was doing a lot of this whilst turning the pages...I can't remember how many times (I gave up after a while...) Sam asked Iz..........
ARE YOU OKAY?????and again...and again.....................now you see why I was in a state of madness!!
-Iz.......(OMG, I hated that name!!!! Seriously!!! Call me fickle, I don't care - Israel was bad but not as naff as Iz.)..okay, Iz......hell, the guy was a whiner deluxe..........Tears...more Tears.........Okay, I get it!! The people he thought were his real parents were so not nice to him.....I understand his pain and shock at discovering the switch........but he was more of a wet rag..I wanted him to show some gumption...........insteadOOh Sam.....I am so not okay....and of course, Sam babies him and babies him!!!!
-I didn't feel the connection between Sam and Iz...maybe friendship but more...no couldn't feel that kind of love.
-I did like the author's writing style...but further than that...can't think what!!
This was my first book by this author and it wasn't a terrible story....it's just me......and although I am not recommending it, look at the other reviews and decide for yourself. You might actually like it.
