paulinazim96 's review for:
Playlist for the Dead
by Michelle Falkoff
I wasn't expecting much, and it’s exactly what I got. The story followed Sam who tries to figure out why his best friend killed himself. It follows Sam’s acceptance of his only friend being dead and new friendships that arise. Sam tries to figure out what happened to Hayden by the playlist that he left him.
I liked the idea of the playlist, I was hoping more clues were left there. It all seemed very far-fetched and the songs didn’t mean to much to Sam. Having suicide playlist I was expecting the songs to refer to more than just a feeling he once had but more to do with his friendship with Sam. I tried to listen to the songs after reading the book to see if I could get a better feel of Hayden’s character, apart from the songs being great it did nothing to bring me closer to this character.
“If there’s one thing I learned from the playlist, it’s how important listening to people can be.”
I did find it interesting to watch Sam deal with his grief, but there wasn’t much to it. It was a very standard book on grief that has been done over and over again. Sam’s character wasn’t that easy to connect to.
I would recommend this book; it was nice to see Sam actually making some friends and getting out of his depressed shell.
