Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson
3.0
At first, I absolutely LOVED this book. I liked how the author described how Ali could see shapes and colors and taste peoples words and other sounds. I found myself on the edge of my seat a number of times because I was dying to know what happened to Tori. (Some girl Ali supposedly disintegrated). However, the story took a turn when this fake neurophysiologist/fake university student/janitor/alien guy tells Ali he needs her help to get to his home planet??
So she helps him, and they obviously fall in love, and then Ali has to go home and never see this Faraday guy again??
I especially hated the part when Ali is about to return how and she says "I love you" and he says "I don't love you" even though Ali can "taste" that he's lying. Why couldn't he just say I love you too? Regardless she knows what he is feeling, because it's not like she can go back, and she's never going to see him again anyways.
Ultimately, the beginning of the book was great until the last 40-50 pages or so. Then, I was just disappointed.
