SO this book had a really intruiging cover (i mean what could a door in the middle of a pater backroung possibly mean??) and a beautiful title that says *IMMA PLAY YOURHEART LIKE ITMY FRIGIGN GUITAR AND THEN I GONNA BREAK YOUR STRINGS ALL AT ONCE* and John Green blurbed it and the summary was a bit confusing *but in truth a bit less confusing than the book...*....
3/5
*i'm sorry dear book, every thing I read in you was either really good or just really bad..*
This book was pretty okay. The first about 180 pages I was turning like light speed and not in a good way. I loved the writing of his memories more than the writing of what he was doing present tense or whatever tense it was in that parallel world he was in. The author's writing made a big deal out of a simple moment. John Green for example does go pretty philosophical sometimes but it fits when he does it. This guy just dragged stuff out for the first 180 pages. Luckily there was like 300 pages still left.
This book wasn't as much sci-fi as it was about life. The thought that every moment there has to be more somewhere. The author did a great job of conveying that message. That whatever life throws at you, keep breathing because there's more than right now, today, this house, this street, this earth. That life will spring out like a Jack in the box when you least expect it.
The characters were perfect and PERFECTLY BELIEVABLE.
Tomasz. The sweet innocent Polish kid. But filled with so much pain. Just 12 but more man than you could tell from one look.
Regine. The seemingly snappy sniddy girl with secrets she doesn't like sharing. But turns out to just be a girl who is physically and emotionally scarred and a massively fucked up life (no wait all of the characters have massively fucked up live OH RIGHT, THE WORLDS ARE FUCKED UP IN THE BOOK).
Seth. Confused, hurt, curious, driven.
The subsets in the topic of love.
1. The importance/heavy burden of commitment.
"I can't be anyone's everything."
That was one of the most beautiful heart wrenching lines in the book. Particularly when you bring in the fact Gudmund said it to Seth. A boy to whom he was truly everything too.
2. The only air you can breath.
Seth's life is/was/still is a mess- filled with things he was blamed of, people he was hiding from, people who didn't love him when they were supposed to and Gudmund was the raft he held on to in the hurricane, the air he could breath.
"I could live with all of that, because I had him. He was mine and no one else's...That was my way more, do you see? That was the thing that made it all bearable."
