Across the Universe

Okay, round two. :)

So, I found this cool sci-fi book and thought it would be cool to read for a couple reasons. 1) It's sci-fi 2) It had a cool concept. And 3) The characters sounded interesting.

Well, to make a long story short, the book sort of did that. It was a good book; just not great. The concept was pretty cool, but a little confusing towards the end of the novel (I'm not going to tell you why, sorry). The romance in the story was kind of inevitable/predictable, but it was sweet and realistic (even if she is way older than him). It didn't seem rushed at all. And I liked the characters... For the most part at least.

Amy- She was a cool heroine, I guess. She doesn't seem as fit for the role as other heroines in other books, however, in my opinion. In addition, she cried a lot, which I sort of understand. I mean, nothing is how she imagined it, but still. I found myself wanting to punch her in the face, and knock some sense into her at some parts. Just saying.

Elder- I really liked Elder. I liked Elder more than Amy. Sorry. Elder was just a really neat character and had a neat background. There were multiple conflicts revolving around him, including his everlasting arguments with Eldest. Furthermore, I really liked Elder's friendship with Harley, as sad as it was.

In conclusion, this book was worth the read. It had a cool plot, characters, and was very entertaining. Granted, It wasn't amazing, but I will definitely be reading the second book.
