“City of Bones” By Cassandra Clare Review

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing―not even a smear of blood―to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

I gotta say that I have to stop reading those very overhyped books on the internet, since neither of them are actually good in my personal opinion. 

This book is a very typical YA book, with the plot being very unbelievable. Like the beginning of this book where the bouncer at a nightclub lets in 2 15-year-old girls into the nightclub. 

I personally found this book very boring. The reason behind this might be the fact that it was in a huge reading slub while I picked up this book and tried to read it. Its important to say that I DNF-ed this book 150 pages or so into this book. 

I think that I was bit of too harsh to this book because of the reading slub I was in during reading this book. And because of this I wanted to read it again some time in the future. 

This book has a good beginning because its interesting and somehow enjoyable. But the deeper you get into this book all the momentum this book had during the beginning disappears and all the interesting parts just vanish into thin air. 

The writing style in this book is a very typical for a YA book, which means that its easy to read and it isn’t advanced. But I personally liked the writing style in this book because it played well with the plot of this book. 

The characters in this book were very generic for a YA book, which really disappointed me a bit because I’ve read on the internet that the characters in this book and the entire book series are very good. 

But after reading this book I gotta say that the characters are pretty flat and somehow shallow. Because they have very little personality and they almost blend together cuz they are so similar to each other in their personalities. 

I Give This Book 1 / 5
