Well, this one was quite the book. I don't know how to approach it exactly because I did enjoy it, yet at the same time still had criticisms about it. I think I know what Huntley was going for and she got across her message fairly well, though it was a bit stretched out, in my opinion. The beginning...
I just finished this book, and I have mixed feelings about it. Things I loved: the whole take on the afterlife - the insights into how we hang onto objects - the revisiting of events to view them from a different perspective. Things I didn't love: the returning to an infant stages (really awful i...
(Original review posted on my livejournal account: http://intoyourlungs.livejournal.com/36474.html)Why I Read It: Like my Bigger Than a Breadbox review, this is going to be a bit of a disclaimer. At my job, publishers will sometimes send the store ARC copies of their books in the hopes that employee...
This book deserves at least 4.5 stars, but I just can't give it 5. I will tell you why: Lost objects? Hmm. And the end just seemed a little too typical. But let's not start there. Let's start at the beginning, where a girl doesn't know where she is or who she is, just that she's dead. She sees all t...
The summary turned out to be better than the book. Kudos to whoever wrote that blurb. The idea of a dead protagonist examining and maybe even altering her past life sounds just as intriguing as an example in non chronological storytelling. Unfortunately for Amy Huntley and this book I've recently re...
I had an awful copy of this book, but I couldn't even stop reading to buy a new copy. I was addicted from the very beginning. The concept this book is based upon is so original and I love how the author worked it. I was sad when it ended and the way it did left me reeling. The ending surprised me, h...
I really, really liked this book. It took what could have been an interesting but not so original plot and made it into so much more. We are introduced to Maddy when she’s already dead. And it is through her navigation of erm…deadliness that the entire story is told.I love it when books are told in ...
The EverAfter turned out to be a really good book. When I started reading the first couple of chapters, I wasn't a big fan of it at first. I thought Maddy's persona seemed too intangible and unrelatable. After all, she is dead. However, with the easy to read language I breezed through this book in a...
The Emily Dickinson poem in the beginning gave me high hopes for a story that ultimately was of precious little interest to me.It has a very different concept, but it grew tedious and it was so self-centered, with no forward action (seeing on how Maddie is dead), no character development or interact...
Wow. I am really not sure how to process this book. About 100 pages into it I decided I was going to put it down. It was boring for me, but the desire to find out how she died and why drove me to read on. It got better. The mystery of two other possible killers was a good plot twist. But the end...
