Someone Else's Life book review:

I don't usually go for these sort of books but me and my friend had this deal. If she reads my favourite book then I would read hers. So I made her read Percy Jackson and I'm reading this. May I just add she didn't actually all of Percy Jackson so shame on you Marty. I was quite happy with the book but again I don't usually read this sort of thing. It was good but I wouldn't read it again.

   It is a very interesting book and it keeps you sucked into the book. When I started to read it, it was near the time of my exams so I didn't read as fast as usual but I still read quite a lot of it very soon. I just got stuck in the book and a few hours just passed. You really get invested in the characters through all the events, happy and sad, that happen. By the end of the book, you really care about the characters and what happens to them because you see them go through so much. This book has one of my favourite features. More than one viewpoint. It leaves the reader glued to the book waiting for the other character's story to develop and vice versa. It did annoy me that everytime something happened that the author switched viewpoints. As soon as you got really interested in one character they switched it to the other. Each chapter started with a big event and ended before the reveal of another. It was good at the start of the book however by the end I just wanted to know what was going to happen. The only other thing that I didn't like about this book, it was a bit manic depressive. It was almost like a trainwreck after a trainwreck after trainwreck.
   My favourite characters have to Rosie and Holly just for the reason that you get so invested in them. You care about the other characters so much it's just that you see everything that happens through both of their viewpoints. Also, it was fun to see what the other thinks in the same situation when the author switched the views.
   I may have said a few bads things about this book but overall I did enjoy it and would recommend it to people who like this sort of thing. However, it wasn't my sort of thing and I wouldn't read it again even though I enjoyed the experience.

Thanks for reading and I'll see you in the next post.
