Well I did cringe!
90% of the book is devoted to detailed description of things that most of us know, or don't find at all useful. A good editor would have thrown out good half of the rambling nonsense:
Ex 1: When the girl sees a tiger the author floods the reader with information about the physical characteristic of tigers, their habits, their different species, the countries they come from, the fables about the tiger in those countries, and their gods. How the Gods affect the popular belief in the past - to present. Good 20 pages to skip...
Ex 2: The flight to India is 59pg. It describes in painful detail the customs, and other paperwork done, the workings of flying private jet, the bypassing officials by the super rich, the history of flight, the workings of private airline from micro company to super airline, and in general how to make $1000 000 000 000s with little to no effort.
Ex: 3456789..............Sheesh!
There is also this: The girl is immature, spoiled and not respectful of other cultures. Though a teen she has the habits and IQ of a toddler. I like my heroins strong, with whit and grace, that helps them grow and overcome their faults. This heroine has stayed rough through out the book. And when the climax did came, I think I was happy my ordeal was over.
I respect that not all of us have the same taste and that a lot of you readers liked it, but I also admit that the idea of a sequel (book 2) scares the hell out of me!
