Output: review Sophie Kinsella's YA debut, Finding Audrey. is just as heartfelt and poignant as it is wonderfully charming and hilarious. It's a perfect book for a Sophie Kinsella's YA debut, Finding Audrey. is just as heartfelt and poignant as it is wonderfully charming and hilarious. It's a perfect book for a sunny afternoon on the beach. A great picker-upper, feel-good novel capable of making you laugh out loud and all teary-eyed at the same time. I loved it. I absolutely loved it. 14-year-old Audrey is suffering from anxiety disorder and depression. We don't know what exactly happened to her, but does it really matter? What matters is Audrey is sick. She doesn't go to school anymore. She doesn't take her sunglasses off or make eye-contact with anyone (not even her family, except for Felix). She can't even leave the house without a panic attack. Finding Audrey isn't a story about bullying, high school drama or revenge. This story is about healing, recovery and finding yourself. And it's brilliant. I loved so many things about this book, I don't even know where to begin. The characters were phenomenal! And not just Audrey and Linus who were at the center of this story, but all of the supporting cast, too. Audrey's 4 year old brother, Felix? I worshiped him from the get-go! This was a ridiculous case of insta-affection for me. That kid made my heart melt. I wanted to hug-squish him. According to Audrey "he greets most life events with disbelieving joy. A lorry in the street! Ketchup! An extra-long chip!" Seriously, how can you not love him? Audrey's whole family was amazingly fleshed out. Not a picture-perfect unit, but one so very real, I could relate to them on more than one level. The relationships in this book were all complex and realistically drawn, with plenty of foreshadowing. I enjoyed reading about Audrey's family and the struggles they were facing - from hilarious situations revolving around Felix to more serious issues revolving mostly around Audrey, but also Frank, Audrey's older brother. I thought the construction of the story was just perfect. Right at the beginning of the story Audrey tells us that something horrible happened to her, but she doesn't want to talk about it. She doesn't think it's necessary. The truth is, she probably can't talk about it yet and, honestly, she might never be able to. But as it turns out, the fact that we don't get all fixated on that big and terrible event in Audrey's recent past actually allows us to focus on Audrey's present state of mind. We see her the way she is - vulnerable, but trying to move on, terrified and paralyzed by fear, but willing to push herself (or allow others to push her). We don't see her as a victim of bullying or abuse, we see her as a fighter. I thought this was a brilliant move on Kinsella's part. It made this story way less dark and dramatic that it would've been otherwise - and thank god, too, because I really loved the humor! Audrey and Linus were fantastic together. Their relationship developed slowly and felt very genuine. I loved that Linus was more of a supporting character than this knight in a shiny armor who arrives on a white horse to save the damsel in distress. Yes, he helped Audrey a lot. He pushed her, challenged her, motivated her, and - ultimately - provided plenty of comfort and made her feel safe. Made her feel needed and wanted. That meant A LOT, but it wasn't everything. Audrey did a whole lot of healing on her own. Linus didn't find Audrey, Audrey found herself. And that's another thing I really loved about this book. It can't be easy to find just the right balance between sad and happy, moving and funny, dark and hopeful, but Sophie Kinsella did it. She nailed it. Finding Audrey is a sweet book full of meaningful little moments, spot-on humor, charm and positive vibes. If I was suffering from anxiety or depression right now, this is the kind of book I would want to read. This is the kind of book that could possibly help me feel better and give me hope and motivation to push through. Having suffered from depression in my early 20s, I can tell you that Kinsella did a really great job describing Audrey's thoughts and feelings. Plus, she tackled this difficult and scary subject with incredible sensitivity and lightness. Usually books about mental illness, depression, anxiety and bullying are rather dark and disturbing. Finding Audrey is a bright ray of sunshine among those books. ...more

Output: review Click on the picture to see the board! I've been sitting on this review for a couple of days after finishing the book, chewing the story over and over Click on the picture to see the board! I've been sitting on this review for a couple of days after finishing the book, chewing the story over and over, trying to digest everything that happened, trying to get over all the heartbreak and emotional pain this book has caused me. I am still working on all that. I honestly don't know how to review this book. It was both exhilarating and sad, inspiring and depressing, hopeful and dark. I got so close to the characters - to Theo in particular - they felt more like friends than just fictional creations. They made me laugh, swoon and then ugly cry (the ugliest cry since The Fault in Our Stars). This book - this story - really hit me hard and I am still trying to get my shit together. This is a story of a girl saved by the boy who couldn't be saved himself. It's such a beautiful tale. Incredibly honest, gritty, moving and profoundly affecting. Possibly life changing. Probably even life saving. I want to tell you about the plot. About Theo and Violet. About how they met, how their lives began to intertwine with each other, wrapping themselves around one another and creating the most breathtaking symbiosis of all times. I want to tell you about their feelings - for each other, for their families, for the rest of the world. Their fears and struggles and dreams. Their wandering project, all the places they've visited, all the things they left behind, all the post it notes and their meaning. I do want to tell you about it all, but at the same time I don't. I just can't. You need to experience all that by yourself. This book demands it. There's simply no other way. To me, this book is perfect. The more I think about it - and I do think about it a lot - the more I understand. The more I understand, the more I appreciate it. Its gentle beauty, its insightfulness and sensitivity in handling such incredibly difficult subjects, its message - everything about it is perfect. The writing style (so lyrical, so transcendental, so compelling), the literary references, the complexity and all the underlying themes and messages... You don't always see all these things right away, you don't always catch what passes between the lines, but later on, when you go back and think about certain events, the meaning of certain thoughts and conversations, it really hits you hard and renders you speechless. It knocks the air out of you, quite literally. I'm not gonna lie to you, this book sneaked up on me. I wasn't prepared for how much this story would affect me, the pain I felt while reading the final chapters was almost physical. It weighed down on me, making it harder to breathe. I realized where this story was going and I didn't want to get there. It was excruciating. But also oddly beautiful. What more can I tell you? Read it. You really should. ...more

Output: review In all honesty, I don't think I will ever read a Stephen King novel I will dislike. He is my alpha and my omega. So my opinion might be slightly biase In all honesty, I don't think I will ever read a Stephen King novel I will dislike. He is my alpha and my omega. So my opinion might be slightly biased, but man, this guy f**cking rocks. Revival is King's darkest and saddest novel yet. It's really blood-chilling, but the chills don't come until the last few chapters and you don't really see them coming. They sneak up on you and you're pretty much scared senseless by the time you realize what you have gotten yourself into. As with many King's stories, nothing is obvious or spelled out and you really have no choice but to keep turning the pages to get to the bottom of it all. The storyline spans a decade and its complexity is quite impressive - so many little plot threads intertwining with one another in the utmost brilliant and wickedly clever way. You see it all come together before your eyes and you're rendered speechless. It's epic. Madly and truly epic. King's approach to storytelling is predictably sadistic - no surprise there. As always, he takes time introducing both the good and the bad guys, blurring the lines between what's right and wrong, making you care about them, sympathize with them, feel sorry for their fates or tragically bad choices. You can never predict the deaths - they come unexpected and they're brutal. Described with picture-clarity, they really get to you. And you almost feel like you've witnessed them yourself. Or worse, you have known the victims personally. The plot line is heavy and sticky, very molasses-like in its consistency. It's a disquieting, deeply unsettling kind of read, and I don't recommend it to people mentally fragile and scared of death. Death is, ultimately, what Revival is all about. This book is gritty and darkly fatalistic, immersed in existential dread and themes of religion, death and destiny. Dark powers, alchemy, occult rituals disguised as science and miracles, madness and damnation - these are just some of the things you'll find here. I found Revival to be utterly fascinating and illuminating. In parts controversial, this story raises more questions than it answers and does not end on a hopeful note, but it's certainly a finely crafted piece of intelligent, affecting and mentally stimulating literature and I am so glad I got a chance to read it. Bravo, Mr. King. You did it again. ...more

So when Henry had to move away, both of them were devastated. But they promised to keep in touch and write as often as possible, because that's what true friends do. Henry kept his promise - he wrote whenever he got a chance, talking about his new life, new friends, barbecues and perfect sunny weather. And he waited for Herman's reply. But Herman didn't really know what to write. His life without Henry wasn't exciting; every day was sad, lonely and filled with rain. And worst of all, he felt jealous and worried that Henry will soon forget about him. Until a letter arrived, in which Henry said: "I miss you so much! You're my best friend in the whole wide world!". It was finally time to write back! But what will Herman do when he discovers the post office is closed for winter? I just love the idea of pen-pals and writing actual letters to one another. I grew up exchanging letters with friends all across the world - it was a magical experience, I will always remember the excitement of opening the mailbox and finding a letter inside! Corresponding with friends via snail mail is not as easy as keeping in touch via Facebook or text messages, but it is certainly more meaningful and more fun, and I am glad that Tom Percival chose this (classic and requiring more effort) form of staying connected. I would really love for my child to experience this one day, too, as I believe handwritten letters to be really kind of magical. The detailed, pleasantly colored illustrations are what initially caught my eye, but it's the heartwarming tale - resonating, filled with good-natured humor and fun twists - that really won me over. This is a story every child and parent will enjoy. It's full of meaning, it's hopeful, it's easy to relate to and very comforting. Plus the interactive content - actual letters included as fun lift-the-flaps - will help keep your child engaged in the story and eager to find out what happens next. Herman's Letter is heartfelt and full of charm. In this book friends stay friends no matter the distance. They keep in touch, share stories, worry about one another, and while they might be occasionally feeling just a teeny tiny bit jealous or insecure, deep inside they know that their friendship is special and it'll last forever. And though there might be miles and miles of steep mountain terrain between them, nothing will stop them from dropping by for a friendly visit. ...more

Output: review Welcome to the world where people get to attend their own funerals because, thanks to AstroThanatoGenetics, they know precisely when they're going to Welcome to the world where people get to attend their own funerals because, thanks to AstroThanatoGenetics, they know precisely when they're going to die. This is the story of Denton Little, a teenage boy whose deathdate falls on the day of senior prom. We meet Denton on the day of his funeral (the day before his deathdate, because the funerals are now attended by the soon-to-be-dead people), and together with him, his best friend, Paolo, his girlfriend, Taryn, and Paolo's older sister, Veronica, we will experience two of the most bizarre, adrenaline-inducing, unpredictable, and laugh-out-loud funny days you could possibly imagine. Brace yourself, this is a wild ride! Very cool, entirely unique and fresh, genuinely funny (made me snort my drink more than a few times and my husband eventually said: "What are you reading? You alternate between laughing like a maniac and looking like you're about to cry every 15 seconds or so. It can't be healthy!") and, ultimately, full of meaning and memorable messages, Denton Little's Deathdate is a BLAST. I really loved every page of this book and am so glad I decided to pick it up on a whim. Denton Little's Deathdate resists categorization and labeling. It starts of as a quirky contemporary with some interesting existential undercurrents (but one that doesn't take itself too seriously and doesn't get bogged down with anxiety, angst and trying to over-analyze things) and then, in a brilliant and completely unexpected twist, turns into a cleverly devised science fiction. Mind-blown! I love both sci fi and emotionally powerful contemporary books (especially those that make you laugh through tears!), and Denton Little's Deathdate is just the most delicious combination of these two genres. The contemporary part is still much stronger and the science fiction part is, for the most part, very vague and subtle (it really doesn't read like a typical science fiction book, no complicated terminology, no brain-clogging concepts and ideas, it's just- essentially - a boat that carries the awesomeness of Denton and his little crew towards an epic and exceptionally satisfying ending), and the blend of the two is simply devourable. Also, the humor in this book - often times morbid or completely inappropriate - was definitely my favorite part of it. Denton's eulogy speech? Freaking hilarious. The YA scene definitely needs more sharp, intelligent and unapologetic books like this one. At the same time, there is a note of sadness to this book. I mean, really, how can there not be? It's a book about a teenage boy who is about to die and he is aware of this (and not in a "I have a terminal illness and I will probably die soon" kind of way, but in a "Today is the die I will die. I just don't know how or when exactly, but it's inevitable", and it's a scary but also eye-opening concept. Rubin's approach to the subject is remarkably tender and sensitive (despite some of the jaw-dropping jokes). It's not depressing or dark and morbid, it's actually quite positive and hopeful, and I loved that. I absolutely loved that. Denton is, as expected, struggling with the fact he will cease to exist soon, but he somehow manages to turn it all around and make the most of his shitty situation. He is brave, he is considerate, he makes mistakes, sure, but he's a teenage boy after all, and who can really blame him? He's not trying to act tough, heck, he doesn't really know how he should act to begin with, but he tries his best and that's all that matters. He is just so real, so multidimensional, so much more than just a character in a book. I really do hope Rubin will write a sequel of some sort (the way the book ends leaves an opening for it, though doesn't exactly demand one), because he created something very special here and I, for one, will miss all these characters dearly. It would be so awesome to meet them again! Great concept and brilliant humor aside, Denton Little's Deathdate is also emotionally affecting and thought provoking. It explores some difficult themes, such as death, loss, grief, inevitability of one's passing and ways to deal with the knowledge. It also pokes at other (more common, but equally important) issues, from growing up without a parent to cheating, bullying and standing up for oneself. This book is not so much about dying as it is about living each and every single day as it was our last, staying true to oneself, being open with others and appreciating things and people before they're gone. I thought it was a beautiful message, and one worth remembering. ...more

Output: review 5 stars? PFft! This is a freaking night sky of stars kind of book! Before I try to put my thoughts into a somewhat coherent review, let me just say one 5 stars? PFft! This is a freaking night sky of stars kind of book! Before I try to put my thoughts into a somewhat coherent review, let me just say one thing: no matter what I write, I feel like I will never be able to do this book justice. In fact, I believe only an interpretive dance at the edge of a cliff on top of the highest mountain, wearing nothing but a crown of flowers, could come somewhat close to doing Shutter justice. And it would probably still fall short. So yeah. Good luck to me. "Saving people, hunting things... Family business" (Dean; Supernatural TV show) Boy oh boy, what a ride! Shutter is completely and utterly mind blowing. Fans of kick-ass supernatural thriller/horror stories will be delighted to discover this book. And if, like me, you happen to be a fan of Supernatural (the TV show) and classics such as Dracula, Helsing and Frankenstein, you will absolutely love all the references! "I have a duty to do, a duty to others, a duty to you, a duty to the dead, and by God, I shall do it." In short, this book is about fighting evil, exorcising ghosts and making sure no mundane humans get hurt in the process. Micheline is a Helsing, and one of the last ones in the lineage at that. Her hunting partners are: Jude, a boy who can predict your death if he touches you; Oliver, a computer genius and tech-whiz; and Ryder, the hottest Aussie on the planet who also happens to be completely out of limits for Micheline. The story line involves a ghost hunt that gets crazy out of control, a death-curse with a 7-day deadline, lots of eye-popping action and a mystery to solve - a mystery that will blow your socks off. Colt guns, Harley motorcycles, Quija boards, hunting ghosts with cameras, and loads of wicked bad-assery - Shutter is my new obsession. I love ghost stories - from possessions to evil poltergeists, demons, Bloody Marries - you name it - and if they come with witty dialogues, an awesome cast of characters, and really complex world building, I just can't resist. I'm sold. I am a fan. (I am a FAN!) There is not a single thing I could complain about here. Not a thing I didn't like. I loved every second of this book, every little nuance, every bit of reference, every joke, all the dialogues, all the blood-chillingly terrifying scenes, ALL THE THINGS, and FEELS, and TWISTS. To me, this book is perfection. I feel like I've been waiting for it my whole life. Now, I know not everyone will feel the same, some of you might not get it at all, I guess it's just a matter of taste, but if your taste is anything like mine (dark, creepy stuff, cool gadgets - guns, cars, motorcycles, cameras - references to classic horror icons, and characters that are so well written, they become your imaginary friends) then you will probably be just as stoked to read Shutter as I was. OK, now let's talk about the scary. I am a total wuss when it comes to watching horror movies. I love them, but I can't watch them all by myself. And even if I watch them with someone else, you can bet your panties I will be screaming like a little girl, jumping up at all the right moments and hiding under a blanket at least half the time. BUT, here's the thing, while I love reading horror books, not many of them actually scare me. There is maybe a handful of books that really scared the living soul out of me and had me so terrified, I could not sleep. And Shutter is one of them. Courtney is disturbingly good at setting the mood and describing blood-chilling situations. She had me holding my breath and looking anxiously around the room. I could not look into the bathroom mirror at night without breaking out in cold sweat. Shutter is seriously creepy at times. It's cool and kind of nerdy, and really magnificently badass. Heck, it's even funny at times. And a helluva a lot sexy. But for the most part, it's really, truly, undeniably scary. "What do you want?" I shouted at the entity, pushing back to my feet. "Vengeance," it rasped. "I'll rip the heart right out of Helsing, starting with you." Part mystery, part twisted ghost revenge story, Shutter is one helluva debut novel. It's so well written and so fantastically plotted, it's really kind of hard to comprehend how this could be someone's very first book. Alameda sure knows how to write. She bursts into the YA book scene with a phenomenal story and I really can't wait to see where she'll take us next. I am going to be obsessively stalking her carrier for sure, and I don't even care how creepy that sounds! ...more

Output: review Click on the picture to see the board! I've read this book last year, as soon as it popped up on Edelweiss, and honestly, it was one of the best boo Click on the picture to see the board! I've read this book last year, as soon as it popped up on Edelweiss, and honestly, it was one of the best books I've read in 2014. As I sit here today, trying to wrap my mind around its sheer awesomeness and put together a somewhat coherent review, I get ridiculously excited all over again, just thinking about the plot, the complex word-building, the insane plot twists and just how visually stunning and breathtakingly magnificent the whole story was. I really, truly loved Red Queen! I've been putting off writing my review. I didn't trust myself not go on an embarrassingly childish rave fest. And here I am, nearly half a year later, still under Red Queen's magical spell. What can you do? Some books are just THAT awesome. The one at the center of it all is Mare Barrow, an unimportant little Red. Mare lives in a world divided by blood, in which the Silver-blooded Royals hold all the power (both literally and metaphorically speaking) and the Red-bloods are nothing more than poor, lowly servants. The Silvers have supernatural powers, the Reds do not. At least that's how it's always been and what the Silvers want everyone to believe. When Mare discovers she has an ability of her own, her entire world gets flipped upside down. She finds herself thrown in the middle of intrigue-fueled Silver court, forced to play the role of a long lost Silver princess and betrothed to Silver King's song. With the Scarlet Guard becoming more and more aggressive, the full-on rebellion is fast approaching. The fate of the entire kingdom depends on the choices she'll make. And one bad decision can lead to a massacre... Red Queen is a fast paced, breathless kind of read. A true edge-of-your-seat story. Intrigue filled, action packed, twisty and highly dramatic, it's a real page turner. Impossible to put down. I really loved the world Aveyard created. It was dark and dangerous, but also oddly beautiful and enchanting. It's a world where old clashes with new. We have a Royal court with richly decorated interiors, stunning gowns, sumptuous bedrooms and deadly dungeons, but we also have modern technology, electricity and gadgets. It's a curious and completely fascinating mix that makes for a fantastic background to the intensely gripping plot line. And the plot really is phenomenal. The conflict, the intrigue, the secrets and betrayals and all the heart pounding emotions - Red Queen has it all. The writing is top shelf quality, very atmospheric and engaging. There are many twist, many painful decisions to make, some downright heartbreaking plot developments.. It's all well thought out and devised with surgical precision. The characters might seem stereotypical and one-dimensional to begin with, but as the story progresses and as we get deeper into the sticky swamp of politics, social injustice, power-struggle and multi-layered deception, we begin to see just how complex they really are. People lie and manipulate, back-stab and use others to achieve their goals. It's hard to tell who to trust, who tells the truth and who plays a dangerous game. Almost everyone wears a mask and before you know it, it's too late. I would like to tell you that absolutely everyone will love Red Queen as much as I did, but that is obviously not possible. I've read some reviews, and the opinions differ quite drastically. It's always like that with well-marketed, hyped-up books, though, so you just have to give it a try and see for yourself if this is a book for you. If you like dramatic, high-intensity, twisty reads, cliffhangers and jaw-dropping surprises, chances are you will love it. If, however, you are bothered by love triangles (even though, in my opinion, Red Queen doesn't have a typical love triangle at all), you might be iffy about it. It doesn't help that the marketing strategy here is comparing this book to YA blockbusters such as The Hunger Games or The Selection (missed comparisons in both cases), as it gives people certain expectations and invites them to draw parallels between books that have virtually nothing in common with each other. Like I said, though, it's best to give it a try and see for yourself. I really hope you'll love it just as much as I did! ...more

Output: review There are two kinds of apocalyptic stories: those about entire states/countries/continents going to sh*t due to some unforeseen catastrophe, and then There are two kinds of apocalyptic stories: those about entire states/countries/continents going to sh*t due to some unforeseen catastrophe, and then the other ones - the small, personal ones. This is a story of one teenage girl's personal apocalypse. A story about one person's universe imploding in on itself. One small family unit ceasing to exist. One nine year old dog being left behind to die. One lost little girl trying to survive. And it's louder, scarier, more devastating that any big-scale apocalypse you could imagine. Close You Eyes, Hold Hands is, without a doubt, one of the most heartbreaking books I have ever read. Its emotional impact is comparable to what John Green and his "The Fault in Our Stars" did to me a couple of years ago, and by that I mean: brutally gutted me and left me a sobbing mess. OK, this book didn't actually have me sobbing. Sobbing comes when you're ready to let go, when you've made some sort of peace with everything that happened. Sobbing is just one step away from the somewhat optimistic"hey-I-might-recover". And believe me, there is no recovering from Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands. Not now, not tomorrow, not in a million years. So no, this book didn't leave me a sobbing mess, this book left me a hollowed-out, emotionally dissected, terrified to the core mess. Aside from ripping my heart out, Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands also made me stop and consider certain things. Things like the fact that we all live in (f*cking) glass houses, you know? We go about our lives either content with what we have or always complaining about the things we don't have. We surround ourselves with people and things, build our "nests", enjoy all the conveniences of modern society, tech gadgets, etc. And we forget -or choose to ignore - the fact that it all could be gone - destroyed, taken away - in a blink of an eye. Family members could die, your home could be burned down, your city could be wiped out by a tornado, an earthquake, a meteor strike - or a nuclear plant meltdown. Any moment, without a warning. One day you have everything - or at the very least something, the next you have nothing, you are nothing, you have no one. Can you even imagine? The writing in this book is extraordinary. It's not embellished, far from being lyrical or poetic, and there aren't any brilliant and clever one-liners you'd like to print out and slap on the wall. It's not that kind of book and it's not that kind of style. And yet, it is, in so many ways, even better. It's raw, it's honest, it's so real and simple it consumes all of your attention, rendering you unable to think of anything else. Chris Bohjalian has become my new favorite author. He's way up there with my other go-to authors when I feel like maybe it's time to lose some sleep, get some handsome looking bags under my eyes from reading into the wee hours, or - better yet - skip sleep altogether, because what's better than just laying there in the darkness with tears silently flowing down your cheeks, right? And who needs sleep anyway? So yes, he joined the "cool kids" club and is now hanging out on the shelf with John Green, David Levithan, Elizabeth Scott, Andrew Smith and A.S.King and, trust me, there is no better shelf out there (or, at least there isn't in my house). Emily's first person's narrative is a bit all over the place. OK, a lot. She recounts different experiences, talks about her past with her parents, the day of the meltdown, the days that followed, as well as what happens long after all that. And she jumps back and forth between different timelines. Oddly enough, all that chaos makes her story more believable and convincing. Her narration is a mess, because her life is a mess. She is a mess. It is only fitting that her POV is a mess, too. And it's really kind of madly brilliant, to be honest. I can not - I will not - get over this book. I just know I won't. Ever. This is such a powerful, gut-wrenching, at times really sickening and disturbing story, I know I will always remember it. It will be haunting me. This isn't just a survival story, or some heartbreaking drama, and definitely not a lighthearted YA read (in fact, this isn't a YA book at all - it's adult through and though, don't even think of picking it up if you're only into YA) with a blissfully happy ending. This is a book about losing everything - including yourself - and scratching your way out of a bottomless pit. A story about a nuclear meltdown, dead family members, blame, shame, guilt and everything in between. There is no other book out there that would come close to CLOSE YOUR EYES, HOLD HANDS in any aspect, so just suck it up and buy a copy. You can thank me later. And one more thing. The title and its meaning? A bullet straight through your heart. ...more

Output: review Glory O'Brien's History of the Future is dark, surreal and poignant. Written in a fluid and compelling style, it's really quite a literary masterpiece Glory O'Brien's History of the Future is dark, surreal and poignant. Written in a fluid and compelling style, it's really quite a literary masterpiece that further solidifies my love and admiration for A.S. King's prose. To me, this book is perfect. Glory O'Brien is quite a mess. She's about to graduate from high school and she has literally no idea what to do with her life ("I had a week until I graduated. I had zero plans, zero options, zero friends.") Her mother checked out on her family when Glory was just a little girl. ("My mother wasn't conveniently dead, like in so many stories about children, whether they jarred dead bats or were attracted to beasts in woodland castles. She didn't die to help me overcome some obstacles by myself or to make me a more sympathetic character.") She was depressed, she couldn't handle life anymore, and so she stuck her head in the oven and flipped the metaphorical switch. Damaging as it must have been to a little girl's psyche, Glory is not a complete freak. She's just perceived as one by others, who assume there must be something wrong with her, considering. And sometimes it's just easier to roll with it. Her life tastes like radiation, because after her mom's death her dad got rid of the oven and now all they ever eat goes through the microwave. She has one friend that she doesn't even consider a real friend. Ellie is just.. well, Ellie. She's someone Glory is stuck with, someone who lives across the street and has always been there, though only in a purely physical sense. ("Was everyone stuck with geographical friends like this? Longitude-and-latitude friends?"). She loves photography, just like her mother did, and takes pictures of just about anything she finds interesting. And she gives them titles. One day, Glory and Ellie discover a mummified (petrified?) bat, and they decide it's God. They stuck him in a jar, and eventually, this happens: "So we drank it - the two of us.Ellie drank it first and acted like it tasted good. I followed. And it wasn't half bad. When we woke up the next morning, everything was different. We could see the future. We could see the past. We could see everything." You might say,"Why did you drink a bat?" Or, "Who would do that?" But we weren't thinking about it at the time. It's like being on a fast train that crashes and someone asking you why you didn't jump before it crashed. You wouldn't jump because you couldn't jump. It was going to fast. And you didn't know the crash was coming, so why would you?" From that point on, both girls can see snippets of people's pasts and futures. Their visions are really quite random, but what they reveal about the future is really quite shocking. The question is, what will they do with their knowledge? Undeniably, this book is a retreat from the real world; an engaging, dangerously powerful and completely original vision of both the future and the past, with an insightful look at the present. Reading this book was a joy. And a joy that cannot be eclipsed. I can see myself reaching for it time and time again, if not to re-read the entire thing, then at least to savor the highlighted passages. The brilliant and memorable thoughts and observations. They're resonating deep within, and the aftertaste they leave is 60% fascination and 40% satisfaction. Bottom line is: Glory O'Brien's History of the Future is a rare treat among YA literature, and one absolutely not to be missed. It's a smart, sharp, deftly written tale and it's filled with existential themes, dark humor, emotional resonance and artistry. You really don't want to skip this one. ...more
