Gone, Gone, Gone by Hannah Moskowitz
5.0
(Review from 2012)
There is one feeling that doesn´t happen a lot. That feeling when you finish a book, and stare and stare and stare at the last page, while goosebumps runs through your body in waves, over and over again. It´s happened like two or three times for me. And it happened at the end of this book.
This was a very character driven book, more so than plot driven (at least thats how I felt). That´s not to say it didn´t have a plot. It did. And those snipers scared the hell out of my. My fear of someone randomly shooting me on the street that I´ve had since summer 2011 it´s not likely to go away anytime soon after this book.
It´s hard to really describe this book. I loved Leo and his non-talking ways (because I can relate) but I loved him even more when he talked, and I loved his crazy hair. I loved Craig and his heart and his love for his animals. (I also loved Jack for being an awesome friend). The only person I didn´t like was Cody, but that´s because I´m biased and loved Lio/Craig so much that I wanted him out of the picture everytime he was brought up.
This book really took me by surprise. It wasn´t what I thought it would be, even if I didn´t have any actual thoughts on what I thought it would be.
I was expecting to love the book, and I did. What I wasn´t expecting was the ways this book affected me.
I cried at the end (view spoiler). I cried during the book. It could´ve been an easy read because it´s short and the font isn´t very small, but I had to take emotional breaks from reading because it was too much for me.
I am really grateful for it, and really grateful my friend decided to order it, and decided to get the package from the postoffice right before coming over to me, and decided to open it up at my house so I could see it.
