Across the Universe by Beth Revis

2.0

---

I was excited for this book, it has been sitting on my shelfs for years and i finally got around to read it. A fun, murder mystery on a space ship with two teenagers. Sounds fun right?

WELL, this book went into an direction I really didn't like and it gave me an icky feeling. Maybe its because I don't really read Sci-fi, So maybe thats why it caught me off guard but the stuff the leadership does to their people is AFWULL, it made me feel sick and gross and I hated it. There are some really grafic scenese in this book, her waking up is just straight up scary and The almost rape scene was INTENSE WHO LET THIS BE A YA ?! I would have been traumatised as a 16 year old reading this. I kinda started speedreading after the halfway mark, because I just wanted to be done with this book.

Also it was kinda hard to picture the surroundings, mostly the ship but their technology too. I just couldn't get a good picture of it in my head. Idk if its the writing or just me but it bothered me.
So yeah, I will not continue with the series .....

Rating: 2,0 stars.
