I did expect more from this book as well, it was an okay read but I too felt that it lacked something and was too predictable .. I did like the chartroom parts the most I think
Thoughts on the movie:another book lossing everything that it is .. I mean he's supposed to be hairy and animilastic .. Why did they make him look like that I will never know
Also would it kill venessa to die her hair red .. There are actresses who went bald for thier parts .. Just saying

well if you didn't like this you may enjoy Ash

it's sort of like cinderella but i find the author did a good job at remaking it. Unlike this book that did not do a great job.
