trunky 's review for:

Across the Universe by Beth Revis
3.0

This isn't so much of a SciFi/Romance YA Novel as it is more a Political/Mystery book. There is a fascinating comparison to what we have gone through in our lifetime and I like how Revis was able to incorporate it into her story. Even though I felt the book was quite predictable, there were a few twists here and there that kept me guessing throughout the book.

Things I would have loved to have read.
-More character depth. Everything was glossed over. We don't delve too far into the heart of the character.
-More scifi. Considering this takes place on a spaceship, there's a level of expectation that you'll be reading a scifi novel.

The book wrapped up nicely, and didn't leave you hanging like some authors do with major cliffhangers. This one allows you to decide if you want to pick up the sequel.

I give this book a generous 3 stars because I have met the author and she's signed my book :)
