Summary of this Book... | ||
Well, it is somewhat of a chick book. But don't let that stop you from grabbing this one off the shelves. Klause's debut novel mesmerizes young adults with her style of writing. Zoe, the main character, has to deal with her mother lying in the hospital with cancer. Her father is worried beyond belief, and it seems that Zoe gets shunned to the side. People don't understand that Zoe needs her just as much as her father. Except one person... A sleek boy, in a leather jacket, with blonde hair, and a silver aura around him comes into her life. His name is Simon, and he brings her life into a new perspective, if you will. Simon's character development is one of the more complex ones, coming from a limited PoV. His past is so complex, and without it, the plot seems absolutely pointless. He is a vampire, who has lived through generations, and now he finally must kill his brother. Through his personal paranoia, and his new found love for Zoe, he wonders if he can actually succeed in the deed after so long. But he realizes, he is no longer alone. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
The writing style was spectacular. It isn't like most young adult novels. It had a certain flare to it, that kept my eyes glued to the pages. The characters at wondrous, and believable. Klause takes the melodrama and uses it to the fullest. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
Too short. It struck only 200 pages, and I am used to the 500 page fantasy/horror novels. I'm not being prejudice against it or anything. But I think that this novel could have succeeded in creating an epic romance story. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
Perhaps give some romance a chance. Usually, I have been shutting the romance genre` off from my reading. But since I was obsessive with vampires, I figured I'd give this one a chance. Now that I have, I thirst for more of the passionate style of writing that comes with the tales of romance. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
Contemplative. I looked out the window, and just thought about the book, in all sorts of ways. I replayed it like a movie all the way through, sometimes rewinding to watch my favorite parts... | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
This was Annette Klause's debut novel. Coming into the picture with such an astounding novel deserves nothing less than a round of applause. | ||
