filmingpages 's review for:
Shiver
by Maggie Stiefvater
Okay, I just finished this book and the my feelings are going crazy!!
First of all, I have to say that I was a bit hesitant to read this, because generally books with werewolves, vampires, etc sometimes can be very cheesy and overall not good.
I have to admit though, that I enjoyed this book. I can't say if I read it as critically as I usually do, but I'm going to stick with the fact that I liked the story, I liked the main character and found the relationship very cute and quite mature.
I would consider this a comfort book for me, because I read it in a day and a half and I felt like I couldn't put it down and that's exactly what I needed these days. I think the story is fast paced, exciting stuff keep happening and the highlight of the book (for me, at least) is Sam and Grace's relationship. I think they are pretty mature for their age and overall I think they were portrayed in a nice way and had a very good communication, which is something I always appreciate!!
All in all, I liked the book a lot. I think I'm going to go back to it in times I need to read something familiar and comforting, but for now, I can't wait to start reading "Linger"!!
PS: The whole thing with the current through contracting meningitis seemed a bit... odd to me. I hope in book 2 there's a better explanation because I can't really buy it at the moment.
