Review


I have just written a massively long review of this book and it got deleted I give up...........

This book has been on my TBR list for ages because the cover reminded me of The Sea of Tranquility, which I loved.

So the old don't judge a book by its cover is totally true.

Second time lucky here is a review for the audio version of........

The first thing that I want to let you know is that I am standing here cooking my dinner with my earphones in and reading this review out loud onto an e-mail to copy and paste later.
I just written the first line of the audio book review and forgot the title of the book, make of that what you will......

Okay review number 2

Amy as well as her mother and father or mum and daddy as she lovingly call them throughout the book..... (snore zzzz) is frozen, put into a plastic type coffin and put onto a spaceship that is heading to another planet!!

still can't remember the book title. ...

On the big spaceship are lots and lots of people who are lead by a man called Eldest who actually is the oldest person on the ship. Are you still with me.....?......Good

The second in command on the very large spaceship is wait for it Elder who is is basically Eldest's backup for when he snuffs it.
He is however, not the second eldest on the ship go figure!!

Now although Elder is second in command he knows absolutely nothing about how the ship runs and is learning from Eldest.
( who takes over from Eldest if he accidentally falls down a flight of stairs and dies is not covered.!!!!!!)

Anyway I digress back to Amy.

She's accidentally thawed out and can't be refrozen due to ............stuff.

The first person to see her is of course Elder who as per most YA books has a case of insta love.

After that the book gets a little bit vague on the plot, and I have a few questions that didn't seem to be answered (unless I really wasn't paying attention........)

Ohh I remember the title of the book now its across the universe haha!

Spoiler

Okay question 1

Why is there only one doctor for the whole ship? He seems to know everything about everyone, what happens when he dies he didn't seem to have a second in command.

2. When the big twist was revealed why did Amy not unfreeze her parents if she knew that she was never going to see them again?

3. What is with Eldest Elder thing? it really didn't make much sense, well the eldest did but..........

4. Why do they have to go to another planet? It's not explained in the book at all just that they have to go, I mean was there war was there a disease...........?? nothing.
(Or it may have been that I wasn't paying that much attention, and all of my questions, and more were actually answered)

All in all I think.....

Try it you might like it, you might not.
I personally think I am the latter and shall be removing it now from my TBR now file list immediately if not sooner!!.
