I am not going to lie. I loved this book. It is fast-paced but intriguing. Once I got started, I could stop. Due to IRL time constraints, it took two weeks to finish, but I will be honest it I did not have other responsibilities, I could have seen myself finishing this in one sitting. Is it groundbreaking? No. But it sure is good. Like Keene's other titles, I love the multi-dimensional universes or “levels”. Also the member-berries are great!
I can see why some individuals, especially in the feminine side, would find a connection to this book but to have the nerve to call it poetry is just atrocious. The book is short, I mean short, has no actual poetry and it is so badly written it hurts.
While the sentiment they were attrmpting to achieve is clear this is not poetry.
Don't believe me. Read it yourself.
How real is too real?
PENPAL is one of the most hyper-realistic stories I have read recently. From the very first chapter it enthralls you, forcing you to continue reading it till the very end.
The constant human fear that it might happen to you makes this story the ever more gripping. Well worth the read and money well spent.
