By now, practically everyone knows Amanda Hocking’s story. Self-published wonder turned multi-millionaire, now with multiple book deals. Before all of the hoopla, I read a little book called Switched. Even before all of the fame, I loved this book. So, of course, when it was re-released, I absolutely had to read it again. And let me tell you, I loved it even more this time around!
Switched is extremely readable and entertaining. Both times I’ve read it, I’ve gotten pulled into the story immediately, and my eyes are glued to the pages until the book is done. The Trylle society is original and intricate, and I loved reading about the complexities of it, and how Wendy fits into all of it.
Amanda Hocking has a smooth, exciting writing style. I’ve never read something by her I haven’t enjoyed immensely, even her blog posts! Her ability to create something so fun, yet thrilling in its own way is unique. I cannot wait to see where she goes in life, because I’m sure that her recent surge in popularity is not temporary.
Wendy is a strong-willed girl, and reading Switched from her perspective was a joy. She is in a tough position, but she doesn’t budge when it comes to what she believes in, and I appreciate that. The other characters are completely enjoyable, and I loved them, and their interactions with each other.
The Princess Diaries meets Tithe in Switched, the highly imaginative, immensely enjoyable novel from Amanda Hocking, an up-and-coming talent. I have nothing but love for Switched, and cannot wait to continue the story with Torn.

It is a great book. I read it this summer, and I've been wanting to read the sequel.
I read it last year, but I'm just about to read the re-released version again! Great review :)
I truly hate this book and I'm not even gonna rate it because of how bad it was.Never have i read anything as bad as this book before,even Twilight is better than this book.
The Trylle society is original and intricate? No way! The book was entertaining, but all the way through the book something kept annoying me. Like the childish definition of Princess and the Trylle simplistic 'society'. The politics and stuff is absolutely basic.
I liked the writing style. It was balanced between simple and intricate. And yeah, the plot drew me in too :))
