Switched by Amanda Hocking (Trylle Trilogy #1)

This goddamn book is so stupid.

It has an interesting idea... BUT the charcaters.

THE FILLPIN' CHARACTERS HAVE NO PERSONALITY OR ARE REALLY UNLIKEABLE.

This book could have been amazing, but instead it was almost worse than Twilight (almost.)

I suppose I should start off with the plot and the whole idea of this story. This story could have been so interesting if the pot was written better, instead it was all about 'how to be princess' and guess what? That's right you guessed it! We have another love triangle going on people *groan*. The reason I did not immediately cast the book to the side was because this book is about trolls, there are no books about trolls, so I picked it up and started to read... Big mistake.

Even if learning about the trolls and how they live was interesting, and it did capture my imagination; the whole plot just didn't make sense. Nothing exciting happened, we just read about the Wendy whining how she didn't want to be a princess, how she wanted to keep her name at the christening, how she didn't want to be a Changeling (which is sort of a nice idea) and wanted to go back to her family who she never treated right in the first place (I can carry on if you would like?)

And that's another point, her and one of her love interests (Finn) are probably two of the most boring and dislikeable characters I have ever read about. Wendy just whines and acts like a spoil brat all the time, she even admits this but does nothing to change it or treat others better, and she even admits she treats her Auntie and brother (who she lives with since her mother tried to kill her knowing Wendy wasn't her child, shame she didn't do a better job...) unfairly but does nothing to try and treat them better. Then we have Finn he's supposed to be mysterious and sexy - he's actually bland, creepy and boring, he literally had no personality. NONE. I could go on and on about all those bloody characters, but I'm going to try and keep it reasonably short.

And then there's the stupid love triangle, firstly who the hell would fall in love with Wendy? She's a whiny brat. Secondly, we don't need another love triangle thank you very much. Thirdly, there is no connection between any of the characters. Even though we're made to believe Wendy likes Finn and Rhys, but honestly, none of them have any solid connection with each other - it's so stupid.

So, did I finish this book? Yes. Yes I did. Even though this book is unbearably stupid, it is also very hard to put down and is a quick read; plus, you can't no hope that it will get better because of the interesting idea of the whole plot with trolls... But it doesn't. I can't imagine I'll carry on with this series, but I may give it another go with the sequel - I'm not sure.

Have you guys read it? If so what did you think?
