Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

4.0

•3.5/5•

This book was quiet disappointing just because it was so overly hype and I have really high expectations. Sadly, it didn’t really meet my expectations. But don’t get me wrong, it still a great book. That’s why it receive a 3.5 stars. But now that I think about it again maybe 3.5 stars too much.

I’m sure who ever read Shatter Me, ship Warner and Juliette. When I scroll through Instagram I could see fan art of them as well. I think that’s what really change my opinion on this book, maybe if I didn’t know that Warner and Juliette were meant to be with each other then I’ll have a different reaction.

The writing style is AMAZING! It’s so poetic and just really nice. But I’m curious how she manage to displays such word and expression when she doesn’t have an access to knowledge being trap in the asylum.
But I absolutely love Tahereh Mafi writing. It’s so nice. I also listen, the narrator voice just capture so much emotions and it’s just so poetic. I think that without the audiobook then it would take me such a long time to actually pick up this book and an even longer time to finish it.

I felt so much pity for Juliette. She’s so naive and so pure. I felt so much sympathy toward her. I don’t have much to say or complain in this book about Juliette. Oh but I do have to say... her attitude toward something could be quiet frustrating.
Warner though... so like I read this book with a mental note inside my head that read “Juliette and Warner will be together” and it was just.... harsh to see such actions. But deep down I knew he was good.
Adam.... I didn’t really mind Adam, but didn’t really care about him. Like of course I do, but not as much. Though Adam’s brother, James, is just so innocent and bright. I really like James.
.
Another thing that I didn’t really like was that there’s not much action that happen. Like it was Juliette was supposed to go to this military base and then she escape it with Adam by her side. Nothing happened much.
.
Overall, it was quiet disappointing but I did enjoy it. That’s why I’ve decided to pick up the other two book. But I feel like my thoughts and opinion are also affected by the thought that Juliette and Warner will be together.
