A Nice Surprise: Mini Thoughts

So happy my mother gave me a surprise by getting me The Good Luck of Right Now. Matthew Quick, awesome author!

Every Day Review (Exclusive)

Believe it or not, just 2 days after I posted the last post, I finished the book and MAN WAS THE ENDING HOR-RI-GI-BLE.

But anyways, I think it's my new favorite book for now. Basically, the whole story is written in somewhat of a diary format, yet without all the formalities. It's told from the view of A, this sort of shape shifting man who really questions identity. One day, he takes on the body of Justin and meets this angel called Rhiannon. First time he sees her, WHAM, love at first sight.

Soon, he gets addicted to seeing her. In the form of all these people he takes over, he searches for her and actually even manages to date her! But one unfortunate accident left one of the "victims" aware of his presence. And ever since, A is also being hunted down.

It's a really intriguing idea really. I love how Mr David nicely phrases all his words. Like you can really feel how lonely and desperate A really is. How tough his life has been. How tough it's about to be. How tough it is to be dating a girl and expecting her to just "get used to it".

I can't really say anymore other than the fact that it is truly an amazing book. It's made it's way to my favorites book shelf now. Well, hope you enjoy the book as much as I do. And tell me your reaction to the shitty ending!

P.S. I must get my hands on Will Grayson. It's this collab between David Levithan and John Green. Oh, and I'll probably post a review or just thoughts on Looking for Alaska. Because that was the only book by John Green that I truly truly loved.

Death: Mini thoughts

My grandmother's dying.
And I can't breathe.
Hyperventilating.
As always.
Breathing faster and faster.
As if every breath I take is hers,
Hoping with all my heart
It wouldn't be her last.
Hoping she breaths many many more breaths
In the years to come.
Hoping she isn't that lady before me
Skin getting paler
And breath
Getting lighter.
But you see
The thing about hope
Is that it's a mirage for disappointment.

Ketchup Clouds Review

Hey, so another month's gone by and another book finished. Ketchup Clouds took me quite a while because I've been busy and haven't found much time to read. But nonetheless, finished it just in time and here it is!

Well, first impression of the book: I thought it was a really cool idea. I mean, who in the world thinks of writing to someone who's about to die so he can literally die with the secrets. And Ms Pitcher also adds in the family problem thing, of which I can totally relate and understand to: The fear of divorce.

And OH MY GOODNESS, THE PAGES ARE AWESOME. I mean, LOOK AT THEM!

Anyways, the storyline ended up kind of warped though. It's basically about this girl who finally gets to go to a party and she meets this guy, instantly falling in love with him. Later they got separated and she met another guy, of which she also found really hot. Problem is she loved them both. But that wasn't her biggest problem. She ended up banging one of em and then found out the two boys were BROTHERS.

And so, the big secret I'm not supposed to tell you is that one of em dies. (But who?)

I personally think the story is kinda warped and weird. More of a romance story more than a bildungroman. Still, interesting read it is. Don't ask me about the title though. Haven't figured that bit out. Maybe it's realllllllyyyyyyy deep. But I'm too lazy for that.

Halfway through Every Day now. I bought it some time last year but it was so pops that my book's been on loan for almost half a year now. They say the ending really sucks but here it goes!
