Miracle's Song by Rodney LaMarr
4.0
Miracle's Song, by Rodney Lamarr, is about a teenage girl who faces a tragedy in her life and how she copes with it, among other things. There were a lot of different emotions while reading this book… Anger, sadness, confusion, etc.
The very first paragraph of the book immediately drew me in. I had no other choice but to keep on reading because the imagery was so detailed that I NEEDED to know what was going on. There were some instances where I felt that I was right there with the characters and was able to relate to them on a personal level.
Other times, I was given a glimpse into how those who have dealt head-on with racism must feel and it both saddened and angered me.
For the most part, the book flowed smoothly. There several times (2 to be exact) where I felt that transitioning into the next chapter was jarring and left me seeking deliberate closure on the previous chapter. Personally, I felt the introduction to the parents and their interactions with each other were a bit cheesy but maybe I'm just disillusioned with love at the moment.
All in all, I thought this was a pretty decent book. It made me feel a range of emotions and made me feel like I could relate on some level with the main character. I wasn't ready for it to end and felt it could have been a little longer because I really wanted to find out more about several of the events that were taking place during the story.
