| ♥♥♥♥♥ | A haunting ghost story |
| This is one of my favorite books. I must have read it hundreds of times. I remember lines from this book that stuck with me, and shaped my trasition into adulthood. This novel captures the mysertious mind of young adults and teens while they make the difficult transition into adulthood.
I remember after I read this book, I redecorated my room. I was about 14 at the time, and having a difficult time in middle school. The main character has amnesia. When she looks in a mirror, she doesn't recognize her own face. She also cannot remember her own family, the house and the town she lives in. She has been in the hospital for weeks, and nothing has come back to her about her life before the accident. When she returns home for the first time, and enters her own room, it was like going into a stranger's bedroom. I couldn't imagine walking into my room and not recognizing it! In the detailed description of her room, the author described the decorated ceiling. The ceiling was covered in sheer squares of multicolored fabric hanging down that made one feel as though they were in a fairyland. When I redecorated my room, I did this in my bedroom. :) I think this novel was well written and engaging. It is a modern ghost story for our jaded youth, who are used to the violence and crime in the world, too jaded by it to enjoy real good books. I don't know about you, but I always want to know the other books that the person reviewing a book read before and after the one they are reviewing. I think it helps improve the reccomendation. :) Some other novels I read around this time period and in a similar genre are: "Remember Me", "The Lost Mind" (similar themes as this novel!), "The Immortal", "Bury me Deep", "Whisper of Death", "Die Softly", by Christopher Pike "Whispers from the Grave" by Leslie Rule "Let me Tell you how I died..." by Simclair Smith The Fear Street Trilogy: "The Burning" (BOOK 1), by R.L. Stine. The Vampire Journals Trilogy by L.J. Smith The Secret Circle Trilogy by L.J. Smith So, if you like this novel, and want books that are similar, check out the ones I mentioned above. I hope you enjoy this fabulous young adult book as much as I did! |
