Book Review #7
Alientated
By Melissa Landers
This is the kind of book you read when you just want normal for a little while. It was a comfortable, easy read. Alienated is your normal alien-romance, not a Jennifer Armentrout kind of alien-romance, but an alien romance none the less. The characters didn't have much depth and the plot line was predictable. The writing wasn't phenomenal, but it didn't have a thousand catastrophic errors either.
Alienated is what I would call a time-passer. You read it when you don't have anything else to do or you're waiting for the next great book in a series to come out. When I read a book with a romance angle in it, I am usually expecting it to be interesting. Grand gestures are great- if you write them well. Jealousy is great- if you write it well. Love is amazing in a story-if you write it well. The way this was written there is no way you could convince me that the main characters were so in love they would run away to go live on some far off planet with each other.
This was not a bad book; it was a mediocre book. I don't regret reading it, I just regret spending money on it. It was light and optimistic, but it wasn't very believable. If you're looking for a way to pass the time, pick Alienated up at the library. You will enjoy it.
