I can't even tell you how much I loved this book. Without a doubt it's in the top 10 books for 2013. I was so emotionally invested in the characters and the story. The writing is amazing, there is so much emotion throughout! There were tears a few times as well. It's just THAT good. I highly recomme...
I read this over a month ago and, stupid me, didn't take notes. It wasn't very memorable for me. I did like the way Tim left the CD's for Duncan to listen to. The world building wasn't fantastic, but I got a good picture in my mind. I wasn't fond of Vanessa at all. Maybe because I was never tha...
Duncan is starting his senior year at Irving School, where he gets more than he bargained for. He is left a set of cd’s which tell a tragic yet heartfelt story, one that you will never forget! You hear the story from two points of views, Duncan, and Tim who has recorded his story on the cd’s. It is ...
First of all, I have to comment on how "clean" this book is. There's no swearing, no sex, no law breaking. Well, no major law breaking, anyway. It was refreshing to read a book that is free from all of that but still feels authentic and honest. I think too many times authors try to write teens w...
The Tragedy is a thoughtful book that reminded me of A Separate Peace -- or, as Bookshelves of Doom rightly points out -- Ethan Frome. I loved Tim, the main character, but thought the narrative device of having Tim's story told through CDs that were played by yet another character, Duncan, distanced...
Usually, I start off a review by talking about the characters, but for The Tragedy Paper, I want to talk about the atmosphere, as it makes the book. It is stunning- a combination of raw emotion, the feel of swirling snow, and a controlled chaos. Maybe that doesn't make any sense, but it will once yo...
Rating: 3.5I received an ARC of this book through netgalley.This book was good. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The Tragedy Paper has potential to be a really good story. Tim has a great voice and an interesting character, but, IMO, Duncan really brought him down.This book in many ways re...
Tim Macbeth is a 17-year-old albino and a recent transfer to the prestigious Irving School, where the motto is, “Enter here to be and find a friend.” Tim does not expect to find a friend; all he really wants to do is escape his senior year unnoticed. Despite his efforts to blend into the background,...
This is a YA book that really makes you think. What is a tragedy? What makes something tragic? We listen to Tim's story through the CD'S he left in Duncan's dorm room. While at the same time hearing Duncan's story of his senior year of high school. Throughout the story we know something bad happene...
