another lecture i read in german.. but this time it’s not that good.
the story just isn’t original at all and even though there is action and it doesn’t get boring i didn’t like it that much.

Wauw, wat een goed boek! Waanzinnig spannend, sterk verhaal en bijzondere thema's. Schrijfstijl wel wat simpel en het eind voelt onaf, maar verder erg goed. Uitgebreide recensie: http://thebookreview.nl/recensies/young-adult/boy-7-mirjam-mous/

Ik heb meestal niet zo’n hoge pet op van Nederlandse schrijvers, maar dit boek heeft me aangenaam verrast! De insteek van het verhaal is wellicht niet erg origineel en doet in eerste instantie aan de Maze Runner denken, maar naarmate het verhaal vordert vind ik dat dit zich wel rechttrekt. Ik vind het leuk om vanaf de eerste pagina me af te vragen ‘wat is hier in hemelsnaam aan de hand’. Dat de hoofdpersoon dit door geheugenverlies ook niet weet, maakt het verhaal juist leuk! Je gaat samen op avontuur om erachter te komen wat er is gebeurd. Helaas voelt het einde wel wat afgeraffeld aan, alsof de schrijfster ineens haast had. De schrijfstijl is verder vlot en past goed bij een young adult. Al met al een leuke y/a van Nederlandse bodem.

A boy wakes up on the side of the road. He doesn't know where he is, doesn't even know who he is. All he has is a backpack filled with seemingly not useful things and a mobile phone. There's one message on that phone: "Whatever you do, don't call the police." It may seem strange advice, but the most terrifying part is, it's his own voice.
The story is not unlike that of the movie Paycheck, where the main character tries to puzzle his memory back together using items he has sent himself. I found it interesting anyway. My youngest sister had asked me to read it first, to see if there was some scary stuff in it. There isn't really. It's promoted as YA, but I would market it to a bit younger teens. The writing is a bit too childish for YA and the problems in the story are also solve a little bit too easily for my liking.
One thing I thought a bit odd was that the setting was in the USA. (Nothing weird, I hear you think) But for a Dutch author it doesn't really makes sense. It didn't feel very American, were it not for the many references to PizzaHut, Wallmart and Wendy's. Especially with the latter two, the author went on to explain what they were (for we don't have them in The Netherlands), and it felt very weird to me.
But still, it was an enjoyable story, and I thank my sister for making me read it. It reads very fast, so if you've got a few spare hours...
