A review by aradne
Across the Universe by Beth Revis
1.0
So, in the first several pages of this book, Amy is frozen in a cryogenic box, but immediately realizes that she's still conscious. She is supposed to be frozen for three hundred years, and she's mentally awake. Her first few chapters are about her waking dreams and nightmares and thoughts, how scared she is, and her biggest fear- that her first year is not yet over, or the possibility that it's been 299 years. I was hooked, because this character would wake up and be mentally broken- a basket case.
NOPE. Never mentioned again.
So I was quite disappointed with that- I'm not sure why Amy was awake for the 250 years that she was frozen, nor why the author stressed that it would be three hundred and one years instead of the original three hundred,as well as a few other details that were handed out (why doesn't Doc have a successor?).
This novel wasn't awful, but I feel like the plot needed another combing through.
