insomnolent_reader 's review for:
Shatter Me
by Tahereh Mafi
I do not know what to do with this review. The premise was so promising but the writing? Not so. So much prose and so much metaphors - not very poetic poetic poetic.
Here are some ridiculous quotes I found.
In the absence of human relationships (shouldn't there be a comma here?) I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.
Juliette is like most YA character in the beginning - weak yet stubborn determined. That whole entire paragraph is annoying. We get it, you were a reader. Like most of us, we turned to books when we don't have much companion.
And we stand like that until I'm too old to remember a world without his warmth. What does that even mean? Is this some "I'm today old" shit?
I try to focus his eyes, grasp his hands, gentle gentle gentle. wouldn't gently gently gentlywork better?
I've searched the world for all the right words and my mouth is full of nothing. I still don't get it? The world? Just so bad, man. Most pages in the book are filled with this type of sentence too.
I was just cringing the entire time. Warner saying "I love you" while she was trying to escape kinda annoyed me because how, when and where did this love start?
The "love" between Adam and Juliette is also not it. I just don't feel it.
I was mildly annoyed throughout this book. I will continue on till book 3 if I can because I want to see how she falls "in love" with Warner.
