This was a lovely book to read. It was a hearty book, full of little surprises that keep the suspense going. It reminds me of an old X-Files episode called Monday. "Monday" was inspired by an episode of The Twilight Zone entitled "Shadow Play" (1961).The plot is that of Sam, who is a bully and teases Juliet mercilessly. Juliet commits suicide by jumping in front of Sam's friend's car. After that there is a Groundhog Day-like scenario.I won't spoil the ending, but this YA book shows consistencyWOW.That would be my one word review for this book... WOW.I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this up, and to say that I was utterly unprepared for it's magnificence, would be an understatement. This book evoked such strong emotion. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I was bawling by the end of the story. For me, the stories that awaken your emotions are always the most powerful and memorable. And I don't read many books like that, so when I do, it tends to really stand out.What's so
"Before I Fall" is Lauren Oliver's debut novel and I think for a first effort it is pretty good. The premise of the book is not too original - it is a sort of cross between "Mean Girls" and "The Groundhog Day," but Oliver develops it well. Samantha, one of her school's mean girls, relives her last day over and over again, learning more about herself and people around her with each replay. Will she learn enough to make a difference, to change her attitude and her life?Being a foreigner, I was
I had high expectations for this book for 2 reasons: 1. I loved Delirium, it's one of my favorite series and 2. so many people raved about Before I fall , saying it is the best of Oliver's work. I couldn't disagree more. At the beginning I couldn't get into the story, it was a bit repetitive, so I had to put it down and read something else in the meantime. In the end I was getting a bit frustrated as I couldn't understand the whole idea of the book. Having finished it yesterday I've been
I hated this book, and loved it. Its cruel, and frustrating, unfair, and yet its also sad, and hopeful, and honest and authentic. Im not sure how everyone else feels about their High School experience, but I despised mine. You couldnt pay me to go back. However, this story was so vivid, that I felt as though I could smell the grease from the cafeteria, feel the rough tile on the bathroom floor and the chill of that cold fateful night. I even cringed at the hurt that all these characters so
Warning: Major Spoilers below (including the very ending). And foul language. MUCH foul languageLa la la, spoilers.Still spoilers.And language to make your grandmother blush.Fuck you book. Fuck. You. I want to drop this book to two stars for that goddamn ending. But I cant because even with that fucking ending it is not really a two-star book at all. So it gets dropped one star. DAMN YOU. I knew the ending was coming. This is the problem with reading the ending first (well, near the beginning).
