Book Review #2 Shatter Me


Shatter Me
For exactly 264 days, Juliette has been imprisoned in a small room because she touched someone and that person died.  


     Before I actually got around to reading this book, I had already heard a lot of bad reviews about it. Which is why I was hesitant to read it. But now that I've actually read it, I've realized that I really liked it. It was awesome, but it wasn't perfect, the book definitely had it's faults...
      Problem number 1 was this. The strike out thing annoyed me so much, I actually cringed every time my eyes over them. I understand that they were used to emphasize stuff or whatever but it was used to much, which made all of them quite annoying. And the occasional use of numbers (1,2,3...) instead of writing out the actual word was very annoying as well.
       Problem number two was Juliet. She was such a depressing person. And she was so... weak. I mean, she never even fought back. At least not until the end of the book. But most of the time she was letting people at her school, Warner, and her own parents walk all over her. I understand that she didn't do anything because she was "good" but I think its pretty unrealistic to let people walk over you, that much, and not say a word. 
         Problem number three was Warner. Well, Warner wasn't really one of my problems with the book. He just confused me, a little bit. Because, honestly, I don't know if he really is an evil person or if he's just really confused. And it seems to me like he could be apart of a love triangle with along with Adam and Juliette because during the entire book Juliette never exactly treated him like he was the villain. She just sorta went along with whatever he said and went on about how cute he was. A part of me feels a little sorry for him because hes so confused but another part of me did a happy dance when Juliette shot him. 
            But I absolutely, positively loved Adam. He was a pretty awesome character. Strong,hot, tall, tattooed, loyal, protective. He was just the perfect package (fans self). Adam really made the whole book worth reading. He was just awesome (did I say that already?).
           Even though, it wasn't exactly the Dystopian novel I was expecting, Shatter Me kept me interested enough to read it in all in a matter of hours and it defiantly left me wanting to know whats going to happened to these guys in the next book. Which unfortunately come out next year. Buy It Here
