A review by qudsiramiz
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
4.0
Was a pretty good book. Some cliches, some interesting turns. Started off a bit slow with lots of repetition in the plotline with similar events unfolding at the same pace. It picks up speed though and soon those repetitions are forgotten. Though after first few chapters one can guess how it's going to end, but the story remained captivating.
The prose was beautiful at times with great use of similes where words flowed in to each other and sentences interwove.
Just miffed at one of the sentences in what was almost the last chapter of the book. The line read something like "Belief is like gravity. Enough people believe it and suddenly it becomes as real as the ground underneath your feet." Wait...what? The author thinks that gravity is real only because enough people believe in it?
