FINAL RATING: 1.5 STARSWhere to begin?First off, I suppose I should say that I wanted to read this book the moment I laid eyes on it in the bookstore. I bought it that same day and squealed as I took it home. Yes, I was that eager to read it.Before I could do that, I had to get through City of Glass...
I waited a while to review this, because I read it quickly and wanted to think about the story. I read this because I adored Elsewhere by Ms. Zevin, and came across this book in the library book sale.I'm getting a little old to remember back to high school, but the idea that this girl, Naomi, loses ...
So, I just realized I've read two adolescent amnesiac novels in one week. I KNOW. It's come to this, readers. But--BUT--this book makes it worth it. I thought it was well written with great characterization. Also, I must say I appreciated a) the loner bad boy had actual reasons for being the lon...
Amusingly enough I have Elsewhere but haven't read it yet. I'll certainly be digging it out after reading this though, I really enjoyed it. The cover feels English to me but the book is set somewhere in America. I'm useless with places in America, it all feels the same to me.Naomi's character is ins...
Such an interesting concept ... and yet I stopped reading at page 90. The trail of unfinished books I've left behind me since the beginning of this year starts to become alarmingly long. Still I refuse to read on when processing the scenes becomes an effort instead of fun. Although I can understand ...
'Elsewhere' was a book that stuck into my head long after I had finished it, and Zevin impressed me as an author to keep out an eye, so when I saw this book in the free pile at the Recycling Center I had to snag it.Amnesia is such an overplayed card in drama that I was skeptical that I would even wa...
Argh! I have so many things I want to say about this book but I don't want to spoil it for anyone. So here's the jist:I'm going to start with what I like. I like the concept. It's very unique and well-thought out as a whole. I got some entertainment out of it and I liked how the whole "losing four y...
It begins with a coin toss. Naomi picks heads and loses. She hits her head to stairs on the way back from the yearbook lab. She wakes up from ambulance with an amnesia.Naomi's memories are erased from the last 4 years. She does not remember her best friend Will, her boyfriend Ace, the fact that her ...
So I know I said the same thing when I was reading Remember Me? but it's true. How strange would it be to wake up and not know the last 4 years of your life. To not know how you became the person you are, who you are, why you are the way you are. It's totally creepy. Then I think would me from 4 yea...
in a sentence: a suspicious fall down the school stairs leaves naomi with amnesia...which doesn't turn out to be SUCH a bad thing (at first).naomi wakes up on her way to the hospital with the emo-hottie james, only to discover that she remembers nothing of the past 4 years of her life. she doesn't r...
