OPINION
As I wrote before, this book hit me when I least expected it. It was incredibly emotional and left me in a kind of stupor. The author dragged me from feeling to feeling effortlessly, not giving a chance for reprieve until I couldn’t remember why I was laughing or had tears running down my face.
One aspect of the book I wasn’t too keen on was the swearing. I found it to be unnecessary, random and kind of pointless. It seemed like a desperate attempt to make the novel seem more mature even though the cussing did not fit the profile and personality of the characters.
Other then the comment about the swearing, I really enjoyed all aspects of the novel. I think that the characters were fairly realistic and that this book was an enjoyable read but admittedly, I would be hesitant to add it to my ‘re-read’ shelf- I feel that this novel wouldn’t be quite as enjoyable the second time around.
If you’re looking for an emotional read about friendship, perseverance and loyalty this book is definitely a good read for you.
‘Til the next ramble,
Bye-bye!
