See allI really enjoyed this book. Hurston has such a beautiful writing style, and her use of imagery draws you in and captures you from cover to cover. The beginning of this book was a bit boring and slow, but as I read it more and more I found myself become invested in the book more. I LOVED the ending, which is quite sad but at the same time, I feel like it fit. The characters were beautifully written, and Hurston's portrayal of African American culture and dialogue was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Janie and her independence and how she was always yearning to find true love and to reach her dreams of true happiness.
This book was truly amazing. I loved it from beginning to end. Ever since reading Fangirl, I had always been interested in Simon's world, and his hate/love for Baz. And let me tell you, this book did not disappoint.
The plot was written in such a way that throughout the whole book, you gather all of these questions in your brain, but the questions don't take over the book. Your questions about Baz's mother or the Humdrum don't take away the awesomeness of Baz's and Simon's love, or how cute Simon and Penelope are as friends. Some books can be like that, where you just read the book to find answers. Not this one. Sure, you are REALLY curious to find answers, but it doesn't take the pleasure out of reading the rest of the plot. Of course, when you do find the answers at the end, you just want to jump out of your skin in happiness after the 400 pages of suspense. I loved how everything was sorted out in the end. The ending seemed natural, not forced or absurd like some endings I have read are. Its a domino effect. You find out one answer, and then another, and then another, and everything makes sense and it feels natural, instead of BAM everything at once.
The characters in this book were AMAZING. Each one is unique in their own way, and contribute to the story's awesomeness. TBH, this was my very first book containing gay characters. And I LOVED it. I loved Simon and Baz together, and Penelope, and Ebb, and all the supporting characters. It feels like they are all your friends after you finish the book.. And when you do finish it, you don't and won't let go of the world. Ever. No wonder Cath was so obssessed, the world of Simon Snow is freaking amzing.
This book was alright. It took me forever to get into, and i didn't feel connected to the plot until the vlimax, which was in the last 100 pages. The beginning felt really slow to me, but the ending sorr of made up for it
This is currently my favorite book ever. Rowell describes the life of a Fangirl so accurately, and combined with the Romance, Friendship, and Family matters, it was pure magic. The two days I spent readjng this book were the best two days I have had in months. I would give this book 10 stars if I could. I definitely recomend it to everyone.
This was a good book. The characters and world were great, and very interesting to learn about. The love triangle was written really well. I normally don't like love triangles, but this one really intrigued me. The beginning was a little slow and confusing, but other than that I enjoyed the book.
