Books like Touch Me

I'm actually starting to enjoy being in the minority of hate. I love letting my hate rage just flow and destroy my opposition (my friends) and prove them wrong.Right. Book. Plot Plot's...iffy. It started well, but it was sidetracked with feelings and bullshit, that didn't need to be included. Like the pregnancy. And the death. Some information that was included was just pointless. And pointless information should be punishable by death. Writing Style The writing style infuriates me. Mr Moloney obviously hasn't heard of a thin called a period or 'full stop'. Look. See? I can use them. Can you Mr Moloney? Sentences aren't freight trains, they have to finish at some point. So don't get me started on commas and apostrophes.Point of view was horrible. You would change from character perspective to another character perspective without warning. It was especially confusing when you swapped between Nuala and Xavier and back again in the space of two paragraphs. Swapping character perspective without a sign is a big no no. You don't need a parade, complete with ticker tape, just a little nudge and a "hey, it's this person now," would suffice nicely. Characters Xavier-I loved and hated him. He attracted and repulsed me at the same time. Which was weird. Normally I'm very bi-polar towards characters and people a-like. I either love or hate you. The end. Sorry to offend anyone, but that's me. So to find someone that I hate and love...weird. He had some qualities that I loved, but others that really put me off him. I liked that he loved football, (I personally love football, so any guy that's loves it like I do, get's a tick in my book) but he was obsessed to the point that he cared more about football then his family and friends...unless they were in his team. And excuse me, you do not hit inspiration by listening to a song, finish in ten minutes and win first prize. It's impossible. Trust me. The last first prize I won in a story competition was a 250 word story, four drafts, and hours of agonizing. And it was out of 180 kids...so yeah...not that impressive.Nuala- GYAH! I HATE YOU. BITCH.You do not represent girls against stereotyped femininity. You are not an empowered woman. You're a prissy little bitch who was a slut, sleeping with a boy, while in school, before really knowing him, and it backfired. Grow up honey. Actions have consequences. Bitch. Aside from the above rant, she is seriously not a tomboy, against stereotypes. She was a girl who was hurt and didn't like boy's looking at her like a...well a boy. They can't help their genetics and instincts that make them look. Still doesn't mean I wouldn't punch them in the nose if I ever did find a boy vision impaired enough to look, but my point rests. My point is that she decides to make a mockery of me, by acting like them and showing them how stupid they look sometimes. Make them feel uncomfortable. Regardless whether she knows them or not. And that, is frankly rude. You're punishing society for a minority of minority's mistake. Time to take the highroad sweety and grow-up. Seriously.Alex- I love you. I really do. You're the only likeable main character in this whole book. You had a hard struggle and came out on top, meaning that you appreciate the smaller happiness's in life. You're so sweet and caring, but mostly, you're not a stuck up prick like the rest of the male characters. And you're not a drunk either. Because you followed the law. Notice the past tense. Why? Because *SPOILER ALERT!!!* HE DIES! OF A BLOOD CLOT! Why, Moloney, why? Why'd you kill off the only likeable character in the book? I'm not happy. Not. Happy.Summary To summaries, this book had very few positive aspects, and the few that it had, were too small to be really be worth it. You're final question may be, "then why give it two stars? Why not give it one if you hate it so much?" And I answer quite simply, "For Alex."Rest In Peace Alex. I love you as much as I can love a fictional character that I barley knew anything about. These two stars are for you.
