Minders by Michele Jaffe
1.0
First of all, this book was well written. Its style, pace, plot, and characters were absolutely perfect and I'm tempted to rate this book five stars alone for those points.
But I cannot.
I'm a older teen. I'm not a older man that's disconnected from young adults lives by many years. I'm still in the middle of my Young Adult years. And I dislike reading "hate" comments on Goodreads and I'm doing my best not to make one. The sexual themes and explicit situations forced me to stop reading this book three quarters of the way through. If this book could be rated like a movie - it would be rated R: For Sexuality alone. I'm shocked that this book was recommended for 12 year old children. We wonder why our Western society is falling apart when we have books that are molesting the minds of the children around us.
Though this story has its merit, its good characters, interesting mystery, cool imagery, and intense action, and unique love story, I cannot recommend this book to anyone. I do really admire Michele Jaffe's hard work to make this book believable and enjoyable but unfortunately in one respect she missed the mark entirely.
