I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.
I think this will probably be a fairly quick review. Sophie Someone has got to be one of the most confusing books I have ever read, and not in a good way. As soon as you start it, you see that Sophie has a weird made up language - which isn't explained until right at the end - and I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, in case it was a for an important reason, but it wasn't, in my opinion. Every other word has been changed to something, and some made sense, but others really didn't. I found that part of the book so jarring and annoying, that I didn't want to care about Sophie, or her situation, even if it had been any good. The reason for the whole book, and Sophie's story was easy to guess from about page 5, and I found myself just skimming the last half. I hoped it would pick up, but it didn't. I'm going to say this is probably 1.5 stars, but I won't be recommending it to anyone, and thank god it's now off my NG shelf and I didn't spend money on it!
