Okay, I read this book awhile back. I've been terrible about updating this blog. However, I will say that this book really stuck with me. I loved it from page one. My fingers flew to turn the page. It was suspensful and just a great story all the way around. There were times that the descriptions got to be a bit much, but I really did love this book. I can't wait to read the other books in this series. I'm giving this one 4 1/2 air kisses (since Juliette can't touch anyone). :)

I LOVED this book by Tahereh Mafi. I had all the things you look for in a dystopian novel but also provided a fresh new writing style. Shatter Me definitely goes at the top of my list.

I have had Shatter Me sitting on my shelf for months now but have never gotten around to reading it. Due to technical difficulties with my laptop I couldn't access the book I was reading and in a huff went to my neglected shelf of unread books in search of something to occupy my suddenly free time. I kid you not, not even 3 hours later I was done. Shatter Me was so incredibly good that I almost feel silly for putting it off for so long.Shatter Me wasn't the most unique book on the market but it was very well written and sometimes that is all that matters. The Writing flowed brilliantly and I honestly can't even recall a single scene that felt out of place. One of the things I really enjoyed about the writing was the use of flashbacks. Instead of bogging down the first half of the book with scenes from Juliette's childhood and setting up her solitary existence we see tiny flashbacks into her life before the Reestablishment and The Asylum not only through her own memories but those from Adam as well once he's introduced.Speaking of Adam, I know I should be all for him (hot,smart,compassionate) but I don't trust him one bit. He just seems to perfect and that instantly made me suspicious. Shockingly who I did end up liking was Warner. I totally ship Juliette and him and as of this moment I hope they end up together. Warner is painted as the villain and maybe he even has done some questionable things that would make him one under normal circumstances but I am just not convinced that he actually is. As for Juliette she was a great female protagonist. Her behavior in the beginning of the book is understandable considering the circumstances but once she felt that tiny bit of "freedom" her character really blossomed. I both rooted for Juliet and felt heartbroken at the trauma she's been through. I can't wait to see more of her in the next book.Overall Shatter Me was a great book and a series I will definitely continue to follow. Whether you are young or old I wholeheartedly believe you will find enjoyment reading this book. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi is a highly recommended read that I will be rating ★★★★★. Worth the read, worth the price and definitely worth your time!
