Now
this is my second time reading a book by David Levithan. Now I can confirm that
David has his own writing style. It is very distinguishable from others. He builds
incredible setting by using simple words that include great emotion. One of the
things that threw me off reading this book is the fact that half of the book has
strikethrough paragraphs; I found it hard to read. However, the strikethrough
helped in understanding the story bit by bit.
The novel had pictures in it. Each picture cried
emotion. In fact, David was inspired by the pictures to write the plot.
The book was what I like to describe light dark.
It was full of raw emotion and regret. Evan (the main character) is sad and
depressed for the loss of his friend. He tries to find out who is behind
sending him random pictures of Ariel. Ariel: we don’t get to see her at all,
but we read all about her from Evan's point of view. He lost his friends and
apparently the loss of a friend was so hard on Evan, it stopped him from
living.
Levithan successfully made this novel a unique
one. I will be thinking about it for a little while.
