Review Detail

So. I have to admit [I keep saying that!], The Rule of Won is not my favorite book nor is it a book that I enjoyed&much.

The Rule of Won started out interestingly enough but I really disliked the sarcastic voice that was portrayed throughout the book. There were parts of the plot that was fairly entertaining especially the girl who drew pictures that came true. The blackout where the lights came back on a few hours after the girl drew a picture of a lighted area. The cafeteria food tasting better after the girl drew a picture of delicious food in the cafeteria. Are these coincidences or is it something more something that cant be explained? This was what drew me to reading The Rule of Won.

The characters that were in The Rule of Won were people that I either were annoyed with or just flat out disliked them. For example, Ethan, leader of the cult was a very charismatic guy who happened to be the brother of the girl with powers. He manages to gather groups of students to follow him and his religion that is, Rule of Won. He believes that by asking for something enough, youll manage to obtain it. By imanifesting enough, his followers and himself managed to have the really bad basketball team finally win a game, to obtain a school fund to rebuild the gym and other miscellaneous wishes. However, unknown to his fellow members and followers, he had his sister draw the pictures of what they wish for and because he believed in her powers, the wishes came true. I personally thought Ethan was a very deceiving guy who just wanted everyone to believe in him and his ways.

And Vicky. Omg. I really disliked her. She uses people for her benefit and when they dont do what she wants, she discards them like a pile of dirty clothes. She was Calebs ex-girlfriend and didnt even formally break up with him. She still hung out with him and he assumed that they were still going out until she accidentally said then maybe Ill go out with you again. I loathed her with a dying heart. Oh, and at the end, after everything Ethan did for her, she was still reluctant to follow him and you could totally tell that she was slightly disgusted for him.

And finally, Caleb, protagonist of the story, is the ultimate slacker who is really dumb at specific times. He always happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and manages to obtain friends that backstab him. *coughVickycough* Besides all his errors and stuff, he still manages to redeem himself when other people start to get hurt. He resists his slacker ways and manages to actually do something. He was definitely written in a sarcastic voice and, in more ways than one, in a very humorous tone.

Overall, The Rule of Won is a very sarcastic piece of work that manages to have just a tad of the supernatural.
