elequeole 's review for:
Looking for Alibrandi
by Melina Marchetta
This was good!! A good debut novel!
I cannot say I enjoyed it as much as Saving Francesca, also from Melina Marchetta, but I think it was good nonetheless.
I have some things I want to mention:
1st, Jacob and Josie. They are the most tender and pure thing I’ve ever read. They come off as real teenagers, full-fledge teenagers that we hardly ever see in other YAs.
2nd Jacob. Beautiful child, you broke my heart. How can a paper and ink person make you feel so much sadness and helplessness. I know you are not real, but I do wish I could have had helped you.
3rd Michael. You sir, I loved you! And your relationship with Josie. Brilliant!
The three main themes on the book might be: finding yourself and self-growth, family and culture, friends and love.
Josie was such a flawed being. In the best way possible, just how humans are. Such a teenager....
Good. This book was good!
Can’t wait to read more of Marchetta’s
