The Hollow Review

The Hollow By Jessica Verday

When Abbey's best friend, Kristen, vanishes at the bridge near Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, everyone else is all too quick to accept that Kristen is dead?and rumors fly that her death was no accident. Abbey goes through the motions of mourning her best friend, but privately, she refuses to believe that Kristen is really gone. Then she meets Caspian, the gorgeous and mysterious boy who shows up out of nowhere at Kristen's funeral, and keeps reappearing in Abbey's life. Caspian clearly has secrets of his own, but he's the only person who makes Abbey feel normal again...but also special.
Just when Abbey starts to feel that she might survive all this, she learns a secret that makes her question everything she thought she knew about her best friend. How could Kristen have kept silent about so much? And could this secret have led to her death? As Abbey struggles to understand Kristen's betrayal, she uncovers a frightening truth that nearly unravels her—one that will challenge her emerging love for Caspian, as well as her own sanity.

I was really loking forward to this book, and i put other books aside so I could read this, but when i was finished i was really dissapointed. I didn´t find the book very intresting, i thought that the book was alot about Abbey going to school and going back home, making some perfume and some saturdays, she saw Caspian. So that was really boring, you could almost just read a couple og page first, in the middle and last in the book and you would have gotten just as much you needed. I really didn´t feel that the book, was well written.
And what about that whole thing about Kristens boyfriend? It is like she decribes the pages in the dairy on a couple of pages in the book and then you think that Abbey is gonna find out more about him and Kristen. But there is nothing of that, the writter just go back to write about Abbey´s boring dayly routines.

The climax are only a couple of chapters and it all barely makes sense. it is to bad that the climax is almost nothing, because she uses a lot of the just writting Abbey´s dayly routine and that is really boring. There are just to many things in the book that could have potentiel and you could be exited about, that are just thrown together in a couple of pages, so it dosn´t make sense.

But even because of all of this, i have to read the next book, because i am not a quitter, when it comes to books. i just have to know what happens, eventhough i think that this book, had a lack of a lot of things.

I have giving it this grade because i am really disappointed about the book´s outcome and the lack of priority.

Grade: 2/4
