I opened the book expecting a devoted little boy and I got...a sassy teenage murderer. There is a huge leap that happened between 3 and 4.

10: Kiss Me Slowly by Parachute, my favorite is the cover by Michael Henry and Justin Robinett 17: Start of Something New from High School Musical. What did you expect? 21: Fermi Paradox by Hank Green

I haven't read it, so I can't give my two cents on the matter. But from what I heard the romance wasn't great and was shoe-horned in there (like you said in your post). I just feel like The Monstrumologist gets over-looked a lot, and that upsets me, because I was really starting to get disillusioned with the YA genre as a whole. This series gave me hope again.

*sigh* I would just really love an accurate, R-rated, non-campy movie with all the poetic imagery and dialogue we get from the books with good actors. I know it will probably never happen because of the nature of the books, but I can dream.

I really wish the publishers/editors hadn't done what you said they did to his writing style. It seems like it's the only one with substance now--it reads so similarly to Victorian literature, and I love that. The only way I could play devil's (blind) advocate is I think the nature of The 5th Wave appeals to a different demographic than Monstrumologist fans, and that transition can be difficult. But, then again, Alfred Kropp was nothing like the Monstrumoligist, so I don't even know anymore.

I need to stop trying to analyze things I haven't read, I'm sorry.
