Would You Suggest This Book?
I would totally suggested this book for a mature reader and a young adult. It uses language in the most beautiful way, describing everything so powerful. When I read every paragraph in this book, I felt something whether it was angst, happiness, joy, despair, I felt it. The characters are develop so well even when all its dialog was set in interview or past form, you could see how they evolved. Telling the actions of all the characters were so relatable even in the extreme situation in the story, we felt like we knew the Lisbon girls. That we've seen a Trip Fontain walk our halls, that we've seen strict parents like Mr. and Mrs. Lisbon. That we are the neighbor boys spying on the girls like we've grown up with them. And in a way, we have.This book constantly makes you think, you already know that the girls kill themselves in the beginning of the book. But, during the whole book, we have no true facts on why they killed themselves. The narrator never tells us the real reason, in the book they say the cant put the pieces together. Just like we cant, so it lets you have your own opinion on the mater and you can be wrong. Which makes you think about and wonder more about the book. It gets its edge and makes it more enjoyable as you try to solve the story like the boys do.
We also see- in a way- we are the Lisbon girls. We have felt trapped before by someone who wants to keep us away from the dangers of the world. But all we want to do is live and experience life for ourselves. Some how, we can see why the Lisbon girls committed suicide. Understanding how they felt because we have been in their shoes before.Overall, its an amazing book with an original plot, characters we rarely see come together, and we feel as if we're part of the story itself.
