I thought that these were good reasons why the book is so different from the
Parts of the book were confusing to read and it would have been easier if it had been told chronologically instead in flashbacks.
It's like everything in the novel was done so deliberately. Everything is mentioned for a reason. Another thing that was so entertaining was the frequency of plot twists and turns and big reveals. It didn't feel like the characters just existed to fall in love with each other, like in most romances. The plot got every character driven and the characters didn't feel two-dimensional or flat.
I did not enjoy this book for two reasons, the main being that it was slow moving, having little action. Even then, when it got to the action, in maybe three sentences it was over. Secondly, the characters in the book were too deep for this short of a book. The author went into too much detail for each character, taking up much unnecessary space and time. I would
I wish it was in just one area instead of around the state. This made me lost at points in the book. This also made me try to figure out where this was in the state, but it took place manly outdoors. This made me feel like I was either at the point he was talking about or was watching it on tv. He made it as though it was in the past but also happening right now.
This book, though, it's too long. Gets kind of monotonous. And he should've cut out a lot about these jerks and all that crumby school. They depress
I do think some improvements here and there could really make the book better. The writing is marvelous, much like Neal’s other books, but the plot seemed under-developed and disjointed. It’s as if he wrote an a thousand page book, then cut all the important, thought provoking pages out; leaving the book to be good, but choppy. Overall, I’m really glad I read this book, and I think others should as
Ellen acted as a role model for many, especially young girls. She never gave up, and the readers of the novel were pleased with this characteristic. Ellen showed many that if you set your mind to something, no matter what, you can reach your goal. Lesser important characters like Julia, Ellen’s father, Ellen’s grandmother and Ellen’s aunt, were just people who provided hardships to Ellen. These hardships encouraged her to truly strive for her goal and reach it.
Except, each chapter was ripped out of a different book and put together to create an unpredictable storyline. I despised it. Not knowing what lied ahead, the different unfamiliar cultures and faces kept me anxious. However, the chapter where I move to Syria would change this. I would be lying if I said that my judgement was pure and kind towards the people of Syria.
Character development in the book was poor and I found myself struggling to keep up with the number of characters. However that
Why drinking age should be lowered? If one is considered an adult at age eighteen in most of the country, are they not allowed to purchase and legally consume alcohol? The minimum legal drinking age needs to be lowered, and not just for that reason. The amount of teenagers with drinking problems and alcoholism is far greater than in Europe, where drinking ages are far lower. Also, studies show that the current minimum age drinking laws have been ineffective to a high degree.
It was a nice hot summer day in Denver, Colorado. Was on my way to my friend Lula’s house, haven’t seen her in a few years. We went to elementary school together and we were in student council together. I slowly got out of the leather seat in my mom's white car. “Bye mom, I love you.
If it were any other book, it would have become too overwhelming for the reading but because of the extent of the story the author manages to let the topics mend over in each other without being too overbearing to comprehend all the
Everywhere I go, I wear a different personality. I may be faking a laugh. I may pretend to be engaged. Or even simply nodding my head. It is hard to understand my emotions towards individuals, whereas I feel differently.
“Shoot!” I exclaimed. I just realized that I had left my math book at school, and now I had 15 unanswered questions looking back at me. “Mom, can I get my math book from school?” I asked.
