| Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi pages- 340 |
Hey it’s Meagan and today I’m here to review a very hyped
book… Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi…
Juliette
hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.
The
last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up
for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t
hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to
pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the
population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are
the wrong color.
The
Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw
Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are
whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette
is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly
what they need right now.
Juliette
has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior –goodreads.com summery
Ok so this book has been sitting on my shelf for probably
a year now and I never read it because I just never felt motivated to, but last
month it was part of follower’s choice on my instagram, so I finally had a push
to get through it, and let me say I don’t regret it. I give this book 85%. While
I did enjoy this book I also had my issues with it.
My first main issue was the writing, while it was creative
and different; I felt that I often got distracted by it. I would think things
like… man Juliette really sounds like Gollum... which I mean is kinda the
point, but it was just really distracting.
The other thing that I wasn’t the biggest fan of was the
romance. I mean by the end of the book I shipped Adam and Juliette, but I feel
like some romance scenes were just there so something would happen. I like it
when the romance has a purpose and helps drive the story, but sadly in this
case it did neither (for the most part).
Now some things I did like: I liked the action, I liked
Adam’s character, and I loved Kenji’s character! Those were some of main, big
things that I liked… if you want me to go more into detail and/or a spoilery
review please comment below and tell me.
Overall I liked Shatter Me; it was interesting and kept
me reading. I recommend this to anyone who likes dystopian novels!
For anyone who has read it… what were your thoughts on
Warner? Did you like the romance? Did you enjoy the writing style?
That’s it from me… BYE!
