BOOK REVIEW - O Filho de Odin by João Zuzarte Reis Piedade

My first thought after seeing this book was "Oh, this might be interesting!" My last thought was "Please shoot me!!"
That says it all. It's a wonder how this book ever got published. But looking at the comments on the back, it's because his parents are famous! Congratulations. You are now officially hated. With so many people with talent, or even possessing the capacity to join words, they picked a spoiled kid who can't even...nothing. He just fails. The whole book is a fail. In fact, they should put a small patch in the cover saying "THE PROUDEST FAIL SINCE THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE!" It so asks for it.
The story is dull. There are a few interesting points, but they fail and I can't remember since they're so forgettable, and it's so dull. The characters are contraditory and annoying, oh so annoying you wish you had a window to jump in the book and just scream to them. Or shoot them. That is more effective. And what's with the "EVIL DRACULA" thing in the end? I'm sort of sick that in every book I read there's a Good side and a Dark side. People aren't that linear. You can be nice yet be racist! The human race has been blessed with the gift of Imagination, you can use it to explore the Dark Psiche! But no, we had to go all "VAMPIRES ARE EVIL AND SOULLESS". If it was "EVIL GLOWING VAMPIRES" would be more interesting. And if you killed Edward, at least I'd be happy. It was a stupid ending. And the historical references stink to Wikipedia. Not to mention EVERYTHING was a cliché! Samurais? WHAT THE HELL?! And what about the DAY VEGETARIAN VAMPIRE ASIAN GIRL?! What were you smoking?!
And the dialogues...Oh god...My sister can have a way more interesting talk to me about the stuff that happened at school. And she talks a lot. I hated this book. And don't go all "Don't be so mean! I bet it's not THAT bad!" because in this case I'm right, and I don't like being mean because I know how hard it is to find imagination and to write something that pleases greeks and trojans.
Resuming, this book is so bad that it's more entertaining to stare at it than to read it. Might as well waste your time in studying math. It's way more interesting than this.
