I thought that the storyline was weak and the characters a little forgettable.Now my friend Tra will be angry with me because she&#8217;s into graphic novels and she&#8217;d say that I just don&#8217;t understand the complexities of the whole thing &#8230; to which I say what complexities? I get it but just because I don&#8217;t like it doesn&#8217;t mean I<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t get it. We will just have to agree to disagree.

I could have put this book down and walked away at any point and not have wondered what happened to this character or that storyline but I honestly don&#8217;t even have the inclination to write about it anymore i have already wasted too much time on this book.<\/p>\n<p>Not that anyone asked but if you did ask I&#8217;d tell you &#8230;. don&#8217;t waist your time &#8230; Move on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/cory-icon-copy-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-46\" title=\"cory-icon-copy-copy\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/cory-icon-copy-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" \/><\/a>Cory<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve known it for some time and I don&#8217;t know why I just didn&#8217;t listen to myself but I guess I just wanted to give it another try.
