One thought on “Withering Tights”
This book has a very original idea, although I do not think that it is particularly written well. British humor is normally very funny, although I feel as if the author was trying too hard. I normally love modern versions of classics, especially ones with epic love stories, but this one sounds really patchy and rough like it was a really bad patched quilted blanket. I didn’t get the flow that the really good authors create from this book. I wish that the author focused more on the true love part of it (aka, Cain should have been in much more scenes that he was given) and less of her silly frolicking with those other boys. I really like how she is such a great actor, but the way the author describes her acting ability doesn’t really make her sound serious at all and I wish that the author would have given Talula a shining moment where she stuns and wows the crowd because she looks so professional and serious, but alas this comedy must be so comical that it is not even funny that much anymore. To be honest I actually was looking forward to reading the sequel because I really wanted to see what would happen between Cain and Talula especially when she was going away, back home at the end and the last thing that she saw was Cain’s eyes. The author didn’t really make any character look good because I think that they were too focused on making other people look and sound funny, but when the characters are not that appealing, neither is the book. To be honest.
