This is one of those books I wish I had read reviews for before I picked it up. I wanted something fast and fun, and something stand alone. This wasn't really any of the above. For a book about murder and daring night time stunts it was strangely dull. The pacing was just plain off. And while Parkou...
This is the definition of "page turner". Do not let the movie color your choice of reading this. The movie doesn't even understand the book and should not have the same name.
I wanted to give this book a four star review. I did. And a lot of me LOVED this book and I absolutely couldn't put it down. WHAT WE SAW AT NIGHT has some of the tightest characterization and setting I've seen in YA lit. But the plot fell apart about halfway, and then began to disintegrate rapidly. ...
Real rating: 3 1/2 starsI enjoyed What We Saw At Night. It was an enjoyable read, but really, there were a ton of issues with the story, things that pulled me out just as I was finally finding myself pulled in. Especially that ending. But we’ll get to that in a moment..Here’s the thing, I went into ...
What appealed to me about this particular book was learning about two things I never heard of before, mainly: Xeroderma Pigmentosum and Parkour. Mitchard takes you into another world where kids with a lethal allergy to sunlight live. The loneliness and fatalism of this infliction are as isolating as...
An arc was provided via NetGalley. Thank you!So, when I first read the blurb from Netgalley, I was really excited to read it. I've never heard of this particular disease before, so I thought it would be interesting to follow the lives of Allie, Rob and Juliet as they go on with their lives at night ...
I wanted to read What We Saw At Night as soon as I noticed that it featured parkour. Not just a sport, but a way of life, I've found parkour fascinating since I first heard about it. A discipline that requires the utmost skill and physical prowess, it's amazing to watch people fly across buildings a...
Fantastic novel that I simply devoured until I discovered there would be a BLEEPING sequel. Ms. Mitchard better write quickly because I want to find out what happens!See the rest at http://www.thatswhatsheread.net/2013/01/review-what-we-saw-at-night-by.html
(This review was originally posted at My Library in the Making.)When I started reading What We Saw At Night, I expected something depressing because the main characters are three diseased teens, but this one caught me completely off-guard. Clearly I should stop skimming through blurbs.Allie Kim and ...
I'm having a major problem with the writing style and I'm not sure I can or should read any further. I think by now if I don't like it, I'm not going to. This book has so much potential, but the lack of transitions, imagery, and sense of place is really making for a confusing reading experience. Hal...
