Jimmy by William Malmborg
1.0
Story: 1/5
Writing Style: 1/5
Overall: 1/5
I honestly never gave any book 1 star before. But here we are...
This was a boring book. I am going to be blunt and honest here, this felt more like a first draft rather than a finished book. It really had potential. When I read the synopsis, I was really intrigued by the story. And I felt it was gonna be a good one.
But it is nothing like that. The writing is...not good. I don't usually pick on writing style but this needed a proper editor. Because there were mistakes, a lot of it, everywhere. And after a while it does starts to get annoying. Especially the multiple povs in a single chapter, very unnecessary.
It would had been much better if it was solely from Jimmy's perspective. A teenager who kidnapped two of his peers. I wanted to know what was going on inside his mind. Instead, we got lengthy details about him playing games -that adds nothing to the story - and this mix of povs because the author wanted us to know about everything.
Very disappointed. I never rate until I finish a book, and this 592 pages - Epub format- took me 3 months to finish. I just couldn't get through with it. It was so boring. I ended up skipping pages and paragraphs because I just wanted it to finish.
