Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly
2.0
2.5 stars
I didn't hate this book. I felt completely indifferent to it. I have saying that too because I love ms Donnelly's books. This one just did nothing for me. I didn't like the main character. Yes I realize she experienced something traumatic, but her attitude itself was infuriating. Singing over the phone to a guy you just met? Weird. Insta love? Nope... I can buy it in other novels but not this one
I did enjoy the story from the diary. And the trip through the catacombs was interesting. Honestly wish the first few hundred pages were cut in half and more time was spent in the catacombs. That was interesting. The ending was abrupt and felt like the author ran over her page allotment and had to summarize the rest of her novel.
Tldr: read any of her other books. They're great. This one is not her best work. Unless you're obsessed with music. Then this may be perfect for you.
