Across the Universe by Beth Revis
3.0

Vague spoilers in this review.

I really enjoyed this book, it's different. I've never really read a book that takes place on a space ship, other than hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, which is very different from this book.

I'm not really sure what I think about Amy and Elder to be honest. Something about them doesn't seem real, I can't quite click with them. I found it so hard to connect to them. But I enjoyed the journey that they took throughout the book; Amy getting used to her new life and Elder gaining his own mind. There were a lot of secrets that the characters discovered, which made me carry on flipping the pages. I guessed the villain very early on, as Revis made it kind of obvious to be honest. The book also lacks description as I found it hard to envision the scenes. It was written in a very vague way. I'm not sure I like the writing style, but I'm not sure I hate it either.

I will be carrying on with the series and I look forward to the twists and turns that hopefully will be in the second and third book. I hope I connect more with Elder and Amy too. I would recommend this series.
