Rachel takes to train to work every day. And on that train, she can't help but look out and fantasize about the life she missed out on. As the days pass and she begins to fixate on the couple who lives by the tracks, her fantasy is once again interrupted by the disappearance of one of the members of that perfect couple.

I will say this; I spoiled this book for myself a few years ago when the movie came out and I bought the book. I had previously started reading this book two times already, so this time I used an audiobook to help me through it.

Rachel (and everyone else) in this book are just so unlikeable. Not only that, but the romanization and rampant amount of cheating, the self-destructive characters, or the sudden 180s in behavior really make it hard to finish this book.

I did like the storyline, but I will admit my thoughts on it are a little tainted due to the previous spoiling.

Overall though, it's not that bad of a book. It was well written and I understood that these characters were flawed.

» PLOT «
Oedipus the King follows Oedipus as he fulfills a terrible prophecy.

I love the idea of the plot, but the writing...

» READABILITY «
Knowing the story, and having read it before, I understood what was happening, but the fact is, the writing doesn't make this much of an "easy" read. Especially since I'm only reading this for school.

» CHARACTERS «
The characters are very flawed, as it is with tragedies.

» WRITING «
Not a fan of the writing. My brain is just too smol.

» OVERALL «
I read this for school... again.

Good tragedy, better than Antigone.

This is a classic Ancient Greek tragedy.

This review will be brief, partly because I have no clue about what I read, partly because reading this was for school/an assignment.

» READABILITY «
Not easy to read due to the writing.

Honestly, I don't even know.

Like most Ancient Greek works or classics, the writing style is hard to get through and difficult to read.

Harry Potter is back at Hogwarts. As the second years attend class, a mysterious evil is lurking around the castle, attacking and petrifying students. As Hogwarts is being threatened and at the brink of closing down, Harry, Ron, and Hermione try to figure out who's behind the attacks.

[b:Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets|15881|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2)|J.K. Rowling|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1474169725l/15881._SY75_.jpg|6231171] has never been my favorite of all the Harry Potter books, but nonetheless, it was still really good.

This time, the book delt less with an introduction of the world and more with the central plot/mystery.

I can't wait to reread the next book (mainly for the introduction of some of my favorite characters).

Summary:
Teenagers all over the world send in letters with their own problems relating to love, and Young Adult authors receive them, ready to reply with their experiences and advice.

What I Liked:
There were some letters/replies that were better than others.

My favorite letter would've been the one by [a: Jasmine Warga|7224009|Jasmine Warga|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1388344164p2/7224009.jpg], where she actually gives good advice on communicating with a friend and prioritizing yourself over what you believe you are obligated to do.

The one of most helpful one was by [a: A. S. King|1651879|A.S. King|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1323437957p2/1651879.jpg], where she mentions a bunch of topics like the friend zone and loneliness. Despite it being one of the most helpful, it was lacking.

What I Didn't Like:
[a: A. S. King|1651879|A.S. King|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1323437957p2/1651879.jpg]'s portion of the book was the most helpful, but that isn't much. She spends 11 pages responding to two words: "Fuck You." It was at this point that I realized this is less of an advice/answering book and more of a book that allows authors to share their experiences alongside current teenagers.

Reading some of the stories back to back, a lot of the letters and replies blend together. Nothing really stands out, and there isn't much purpose to the book, in my opinion. There are a bunch of cliche answers (I guess they are cliche for good reason), but due to the fact that the cliche replies means it's widespread and universal, it also means the book is kind of redundant.

Overall:
Instead of rating each letter/reply, I decided to review them all together, simply because everything in this book kind of ended up blended together due to the fact that it was all very similar content. The lack of originality and actual advice made the book seem redundant and boring.

Also the fact that it took me exactly 2 months to finish this book says it all.

ugh i adore this series

----------------------

not gonna lie, the first book is the best. then it kinda doesn't get better, but it still is good :)

i once again skipped the epilogue, but i have to agree... i didn't like the fact that

everyone got powers at the end.

and i also refuse to acknowledge the theory that

magpie is hinted to be nova's little sister.

she is too annoying for me to like and for me to even acknowledge that theory.

David Attenborough recants his life and how the Earth has changed through out it.

I don't understand the point or goal of this book. There's nothing new or unique.

This was a fast and easy read.

The writing is average, nothing special.

This book really didn't give me much I didn't already know, but it was interesting to see it all laid out.
