decent YA novel

Revisado: 05-09-23

interesting premise, boring execution with a simple plot twist. I couldn't get attached to any of the characters or really hate any of them either. The romance was very blah, and the flow was halting and stuttering, which might actually fit the protag's voice.

Tries so hard

Revisado: 01-13-23

This book tries so hard to be edgy and hip, but it just kind of falls flat and feels inauthentic. There is some good info on here though, so I'm sure the format will resonate with some. It just didn't resonate with me.

decent quick story

Revisado: 09-25-22

pretty decent, if kind of generic. I still want to know what happens though... the narrator was good, but didn't seem to give the right emphasis for emotional scenes.

simple and sweet

Revisado: 07-06-22

it was alright. Like a hallmark movie with a little bit worse language. The cliches were there, and the story simple.

Timely

As applicable today as when it was written. in would recommend everyone to read this book as a history lesson, and a means to understand the American economy.

The movie was better!

Revisado: 07-31-21

I watched the movie for this book a while ago and remembered liking it so I thought I'd check this out. I enjoyed the mental monologues in the beginning, but quickly found them annoying. The narritive had a halting rhythm to it that was probably appropriate for the protagonist, but it seemed exaggerated. the Narrator did a great job bringing emotion to the story that would jave been lacking otherwise. I think the word choice for different places was shockingly juvenile for the subject matter and I couldn't find myself believing that the protagonist would call something "apart time" or the "bad place". Overall, I thought the book was just okay and it'll probably give more perspective on the movie.

Nostalgia trip

Revisado: 01-02-21

I enjoyed it. i enjoyed the series it's based on as well, but not enough to memorize all of the events that happened, just overall tone. I think this book addressed that well, and there was a few references to the TV series throughout to help me remember some more of the specifics. I found myself thinking more than once, "Oh yeah, that happened." It's also quite approachable for someone who hasn't seen the series or just wants to try it.

Why did I listen to this?

Revisado: 09-20-20

I just can't listen to any more of this nonsense. The basic pattern of each book is that the guy and girl are stuck together for some arbitrary reason. They want each other, tell themselves they can't, then decide they can, then something happens to make them fight, and finally they make up. All of the books follow this pattern. The word choices are uninspired and repeat themselves. I think most of the adjectives revolve around food, for example devouring each other, feasting, and etc. There's always a part about the girl who had been eating healthy digging into some junk food throughout the book. How are the guys so chiseled when they're workaholics, but there's no mention of going to the gym or working out, except for the first book. Lastly, why can't a kiss, just be a kiss? Why does it always lead immediately to sex?

It was alright

Revisado: 09-03-20

The characters are undeniably human, with human anxieties, but nothing really happens. No real conflict, resolution, just a snapshot of everyday life. I didn't hate it, but there wasn't much for me to like either.

Wonderful

Revisado: 08-15-20

This is a wonderful story set in contemporary times where suspicions and betrayal aplenty. There was a generous helping of love and generosity all around making what could have been a very dark tale into something filled to the brim with light.
