Shatter Me: A Journey of Strength and Rebellion Against a Dictatorship (Shatter Me: Series One, 1)

And not because it was so exciting I couldn’t believe when it was over. But because it was lacking. I didn’t mind the writing style or the main character’s ramblings. The first two parts of the book were interesting and intriguing. It was the third part that lost me. Instead of leaving me wanting for more, it just left me wanting. And I don’t even know what for. I know this is only the first book of a series, but the first part should be enticing enough to make you want to read the rest. Do I want to see how the story unfolds? Sure. Am I rushing to get to the next installment? No, not really.

思ったよりボロボロでした。書き込みも、文字の上に線を引いている箇所が何か所もあって、読むことに支障があります。これで新品とそんなに値段が変わらないのは、残念でした。

Me personally, I don't really like the eye, honestly I am a bit creeped out. But I still wanted to know what all the hype was about, and this was perfect. The way of writing is very different from I am used to, it's written in a very poetic way, also words have been crossed out (intensetionely, I didn't know that, so I was a little bit shocked), but now that I know that it is supposed to be crossed out I really like them, it gives the book a special kinda feel/understanding for the main girl in the story. Quite a few people didn't like it, but I really loved it. Was it the best piece of literature that I have ever read? No. Was it a special experience? Yes. So buy the book, or don't. But if you are going to read it to hate it, you WILL hate it. hoped I helped :)

In One Word ~ Spectacular Once again, I find myself stumped. I haven't a clue as to how to write this review in a way that fully conveys my feelings without being a)completely over-the-top fangirly; b)so afraid of being ridiculous that I lack adequate enthusiasm; c)wait...what was I talking about again? All jokes aside, I think the above rambling sort of tells you where my mind is when it comes to Shatter Me, all over the place. Shatter Me is, in my opinion, a game changing book. Maybe there are other books out there that are written in the same manner. If they're out there, I don't know about them. But author Tahereh Mafi seems to have taken everything that I know about books and the conventional manner of writing, and completely broke it down, building something new and remarkable. When I started reading Shatter Me, I was struck by the starkness of Juliette's world. This story is told solely from hear perspective, mainly through her thoughts. At first I was totally thrown by the writing. Juliette's narrative is quick, sometimes abrupt and other times rambling. There are incomplete sentences, then run-on sentences. My brain was screaming at me: DOES NOT COMPUTE! And I thought that I may be headed towards a short-ciruit. But within a short amount of time, the realization hit me that since this is coming from Juliette's thoughts, the writing makes complete and total sense. Juliette is struggling to understand what is happening around her; she is learning to deal with human interaction for the first time in a year. With all that she is dealing with, it is no wonder her thoughts are erratic. Once I made the connection, the writing style made sense and didn't disract me at all. Now it's time to talk about my favorite book subject, boys. I'll start with Adam. (Swoon, sigh) He is so darn dreamy, and honorable, and strong, and courageous. He's practically perfect, and I love, love, love him. But....there's this other guy, Warren. (swoon, sigh, and cringe) Warren is what I'll call... a psychopath. Maybe. I don't know, he certainly seems to be quite unhinged. But I have a feeling about Warren, I think he's full of surprises. I tried to trick a hint out of author Tahereh Mafi on Twitter but she wasn't spilling, only saying that he has a big part of book two, yay! Because as much as he creeps me out and angers me, there's something about him. I thought I was just odd, liking him, until a HUGE conversation about Warren erupted on twitter the other day. I was confused, because I shouldn't have the hots for the bad guy, right? As it turns out, I'm not the only one. There is a enthusiastic Warren following out there. We have named ourselves #teampsychopathlovers, and we are loud and passionate. I think Adam should be with Juliette, and Warren should be with me. I clearly am a sucker for damaged goods, I have a "I want to fix him" complex. In all honesty, Shatter Me was on my radar for quite a time before I read it. There were so, so many bloggers professing their love for the book. I've been burned before by hype. I haven't read a dystopian book that I have loved in a long time. In fact, I've even said that I don't like dystopian, at all, and I didn't care to read any more. I think the difference in Shatter Me and the other books in the genre is pretty simple. Many of the other books focus on the bleak harshness of the conditions in the world. Shatter Me is this amazing, heartbreaking, empowering story of a girl who just happens to live in a dystopian future. The fact that it is overtly character-based makes Shatter Me stand out and has made it the book that made me eat my words about dystopian books. They tasted delicious. Favorite Quote: "He's a hot bath, a short breath, five days of summer pressed into five fingers writing stories on my body." *I received a copy of Shatter Me from the Harper Publishing, in exchange for an honest review. *

Couldn't put the book down. It was super good and there was lots of twists and I lived the way of writing.

Llegó a tiempo y en buenas condiciones. El libro es muy ameno, me atrapó y lo terminé en menos de una semana. Temía por la dificultad del Inglés pero a mi sorpresa fue sencillo. La autora tiene una forma de escribir muy bonita. Tiene un gran mix de emociones, sin duda una vez que empieces a leerlo no podrás parar. Si te gusta la ficción/acción más romance lo amarás.
