- Latest Review: "Differences" by Cristina Monro
As far as it being a trilogy... I love it. My favorite books to read are books in a series. I hate when a good book ends and I can't read anymore about the characters I have come to know and love. A trilogy or a series of books lets me keep reading. I love that I get to find out what happens next. My very favorite books are all parts of huge series.

It is a young adult novel. Which I don't normally read, but I did like it. I have since recommended it to 2 young adults.Shaederbug wrote:The book kept me interested enough that I would read large passages at a time. I don't think I will read the whole trilogy though. I feel like the book is written for young adults.
And I noticed that next month's book is a young adult novel also...

Since we are in her story we are reading from her point of view, can you identify that she could be at any condition.
We could be hearing her thoughts, but she could be an elderly lady, or she could be in a coma forever stricken to a bed, or she could be drunk.
We are at her mercy, "Do you trust her?"

In my opinion, yes, we can trust Alyssa. While the whole notion of her being completely nuts and the whole story being made up in her mind is interesting, this is a young adult novel and I don't think it's meant to be that deceptive. There is nothing in the book to hint that it is all just the made up nonsense of a delusional person. I think it tells it how it is.

That's great.
But, once in awhile, in reality when you meet a person, don't you wonder about the other person's sanity.
I mean, could they be sane or disturbed.
This is a point for the story and a lot of readers do get sidetracked.
But, it's all good...

Surely not liking a character is a legitimate issue to have with a book? For me personally liking the characters isn't always necessary, although I can see why it would be in Splintered, but it does seem a little unreasonable to demand that people could do better themselves before they express a negative opinion of a book.Daniel Constancio Jr wrote:@85Vivian+

But, I like the book for reasons of "learning."
I love books that have opportunity to "study and learn ways to be a better writer."
It doesn't matter if it's bad or good...
I love them period.
And other people's curious ideas on how much negativity is applied on this book.
How about you?
Do you learn?

Still, overall, it's a mesmerizing adaptation of Alice in Wonderland in Modern Times (when I say adaptation, I mean 'playing with the story', not that it's Alice herself...), quite interesting, thrilling, and inventive, yet true to its core, meaning the wonderful novel by Lewis Carroll. It was a delight to read, except for the sucky romance parts. I shall mostly always talk good about it, but I'm not sure I'll read the sequels, afraid that it'll actually completely ruin it.
