Query: I tried to like it....I really did....

But I just couldn't do it. The characters were so one dimensional and the author's writing style is very wooden. Some books have story lines that make up for the lackluster dialog or questionable talent of their authors, but this definitely wasn't one of those! I finished the book, barely, just to see if it would at least have a good ending. It didn't.
