Really appreciate the ...Thanks for stopping by Mel! Really appreciate the follow (:<br /><br />I guess my problem with this book wasn't the fact that Eve hates men, it's the fact that Ms Carey seems to hate men. I find all the men in the book quite disgusting, not by how Eve sees them but because of how they are written. To each their own, I guess. In my life it was mostly the girls who made it miserable, so I might be a bit biased.Celinehttp://nyxbookreviews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448388663423032450.post-23283638150518982202012-05-21T17:38:35.841+02:002012-05-21T17:38:35.841+02:00Thanks Carina!

I really liked this book. The man hating thing.. I think it's just because of the way she grew up.

I have yet to read EVE and even though I really want to pick up my copy that has been sitting on my shelf way too long, I'm continually put off by mixed reviews like your. I agree that the premise sounds so promising, but I don't like being disappointed by such expectations. And chlichés like the ones you mentioned and unbelievable plot lines <i>will</i> disappoint me.<br />Lovely review! :)<br /><br />Carina<br /><br /><a href="http://fictionaldistraction.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Fictional Distraction</a>Carinahttp://fictionaldistraction.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448388663423032450.post-28241260335739001512012-05-20T10:35:49.770+02:002012-05-20T10:35:49.770+02:00Thanks Shan (: If you like dystopians, I'd rec...Thanks Shan (: If you like dystopians, I'd recommend other books than Eve. The dystopian setting in this book isn't as gruesome as in others, and it doesn't really make any sense.Celinehttp://nyxbookreviews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448388663423032450.post-32022287825749788082012-05-20T10:34:25.586+02:002012-05-20T10:34:25.586+02:00Me too!

In the end I probably should have read some more reviews, a lot of people have mentioned the guy-hating thing. I hate books that hate guys.

The premise definitely sounds interesting, but everything being rushed and the weird thing with the men doesn't sound very appealing. Probably won't read it.
