Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

willowfaith's review against another edition

3.0

I liked this book, I liked how Sam was a round character and how the readers could see her changing throughout the book. I also liked how at the end of the book she finally knew what she had to do so it could go to the next day, and that she didn't just tell the readers so they could keep wondering a little longer. It was a good concept as well but I didn't give it more stars because it was a little long and repetitive for my liking. Good book overall about a teenager and how she was forced to change herself and change her life, but only given one day to do it.

The concept of this book keeps you reading because it is so interesting. It is amazing how your mind can be so alive even when you are dead. I love how her life changes just before she dies to try to undo a wrong. It makes you realize how precious life is with a book like this and the fact that a life can be taken at any moment. I am sad that

Spoiler

she still dies at the end of the book

3'5/5

Si no despierto me ha dejado tocada. Acabo de cerrar el libro con lágrimas en los ojos, sin duda, el final me ha destrozado, este libro merecía un final mejor.
Me quedo con todo lo que enseña y con el gran cambio de Sam, que hizo todo por los demás. Sam ha sido una protagonista con una gran evolución que ha conseguido conquistarme.
El libro se hace algo repetitivo al vivir el mismo día siete veces, pero cada día encontramos a una Sam un poco más cambiada. No es un libro rápido, más bien, es una lenta evolución que nos enseña a apreciar la vida, ser menos crueles y vivir el momento porque nunca sabes que pasará mañana.
En definitiva, Si no despierto me ha gustado, me ha hecho llorar y me llevo de él una gran enseñanza, apreciar las pequeñas cosas de la vida.

Próximamente reseña en el blog.

I thought it was written amazingly. There was so much depth and detail and she really dug into what Samantha was feeling without making it cheesy. I thought it was fantastic.

Disappointed with this. It was a very slow and boring read and i couldn't really be bothered to finish it.
Centred around 4 girls i found that only 2 of them actually featured.
I kind of enjoyed the last day(chapter) but only because i needed to know how it ended.
