Books about death and dying are particularly hard to review. The way we react to them is so deeply personal that I'm skeptical about the actual value of my (or anyone's) review of the work to other readers. When we read, we don't come to the book with a clean slate--we come to it with years of experiences, friendships, and memories that provide us with a vantage point from which to view the story. And if you have an awful tendency toward existentialism, like I do, these books only become moreThere are two kinds of books, those that you finish reading and leave you with fleeting memories of the attractive hero, the silly heroine, and the overall storyline, or perhaps all you noted was the glaring plot holes, inconsistencies, ridiculousness or flat characters. At any rate, its a book that you read, either like or dislike, but no sooner than you have turned the last page, it is out of sight and out of mind. Then there is the other kind of book that will touch your heart, or awaken a
*4 Stars*If I Stay takes us on the extremely touching journey of a young girl teetering on the edge of death. When a disastrous car wreck lands Mia in a coma, she is faced with the ultimate decision: To live or to die.As difficult as that choice is on its own, there are certain elements swaying Mia in each direction that stand to complicate matters even further. She is confused. She is broken. She feels lonelyBut she is not alone. This story is told through Mias emotional perspective, so we not

More reviews @ The Beautiful World of Books Initial reaction upon finishing-When I heard Seventeen call If I Stay "new TFIOS" I should have turned tail and run in the opposite direction as fast as I could.But like always my curiosity won.If I Stay is a boring story that can be told in few sentences but has been dragged into a 200 page book. If this book were any longer, I would have marked it DNF right after reading the first few chapters. This book is about a girl named Mia who experiences a
Prepare to bawl your eyes out. This one is a tearjerker. If you are in the mood for an ugly-cry, look no farther.While I expected this book to be sad and beautifully tragic, which it most definitely was, I wasn't prepared for the emotional blows to start so early-on and then continue for the entirety of the book. Usually, you bond with the characters and read about the happy times before the bottom drops out and you have to make a dash for the Kleenex. That wasn't the case with this book at all.
dear, oh dear. this gave me major before i fall flashbacks, which was one of the most disappointing books i read this year. this isnt as terrible as that, but i definitely have come to realise the whole teen dies but given second chance trope is just not for me. which is a shame because there is a lot to be said for the messages and lessons taught within that kind of story. but for this book in particular, it actually isnt the plot that bothers me the most (although it does, a little). its the
