I'm not exactly a big fan of the narrative style because it's from the point of view of a five year old, at first I had no idea what he was talking about most of the time but then I got used to it. Their days inside the room was so awful and we see it from Jack's perspective. Remember, he's a five years old boy who has never been outside. All he know is this Room and for him this is a good place to be because he has no idea about the outside. Sometimes I get so frustrated because I just want them to get the hell outta there as soon as possible (especially when Jack escaped using the rug!) and I had to tell myself to chill the fuck out and to give Jack a goddam break because he's just five, for God's sake.I was so pissed because he was scared but then he was like i'm scave! and he did it anyway no matter how scary it was and I got a little teary. But I was still frustrated way after that because he just didn't get things. It pissed me off and it made sad too. I can't imagine what I'd do if I was in his ma's position, honestly, I don't think I would be as strong as her and to survive all those years being held captive by a man and got violated repeatedly? *shudders*

“I count our breaths again. I try biting myself, my shoulder, it hurts. Instead of thinking about the monkeys I think about all the kids in the world, how they’re not TV they’re real, they eat and sleep and pee and poo like me. If I had something sharp and pricked them they’d bleed, if I tickled them they’d laugh. I’d like to see them but it makes me dizzy that there’s so many and I’m only one.”

“Me and Ma have a deal, we’re going to try everything one time so we know what we like.”

“When I was four I thought everything in TV was just TV, then I was five and Ma unlied about lots of it being pictures of real and Outside being totally real. Now I’m in Outside but it turns out lots of it isn’t real at all.”

“I kiss her face where the tears are, that’s how the sea tastes.”

All in all it was a very eye opening read!

So there are 16 books in this series and all of them goes along the lines of something like this, basically:

These books usually start with them thinking that A has finally decided to get a life and left them alone but then it's always followed by one of the characters doing some stupid shit and it'd be like "ding dong you are wrong, Bitches. -A" and then they'd all freak out about it and continued to make stupid decisions and wondering secretively about who A was then they'd find a new suspect, point a finger and say That's A! I'm so sure that's A! Let's call the poleez. Then this accused A who's usually NOT A obviously would get hurt, get arrested, or even worse, die. Then they'd continue with their life and make a promise that they're definitely going to ignore A if she decides to fuck with them again. Proceed to Book Two. Begin again. Taken from my first PLL Book Review which is the #3rd one

I don't even remember what happened in this book specifically because too many books and characters and it all became a big blob of shitty blur i can't comprehend.

One of the very first books I read when I started High School and it was Ay-Mazing. This book has everything I regard highly like relationship, friendship, those transitional times we all go through, anxieties and mental illness. This book is actually one of the first YA book I read and it made quite a great impact for me personally because I remember I kept coming back to this book, quoting it, obsessing over the fact that Logan Lerman AND Emma Watson was going to be in the movie, and just obsessed about it in general for like months. Then later on I'd watch the movie and obsess over it all over again. I just think that I should re-read this book again so I could relive the glory and to remind myself just how emo this book made me. Plus this book has such beautiful iconic quotes, it's impossible to hate this one.

5/5
