Better Than I Thought...Check this book out

Simply put, "Shiver" by Maggie Stiefvater is a good read. Some of the grammar was a bit weird for me to understand (maybe I'm losing my mind) but I must say, it was worth the money. The ending was a curveball for me, and if anyone wants a good book to just relax with, this isn't such a bad choice. I'll admit, I did skip over alot of the details as they seemed too much sometimes, but the dialogue really held me till the end. I was actually quite worried since the storyline didn't seem to escalate in the normal way I predicted it would. It was like waiting for the sudden burst of light at the end of the tunnel for the longest time until waiting turned into boredom. Then, just when you don't expect it, the light appears and it's quite a surprise!!!

I was kind of disappointed in that I didn't feel as connected to the characters till the end, and it seemed as if Maggie Stiefvater was better suited to poetry rather than fiction. The few verses rippling through the pages were little goldmines in my imagination as it helped me to understand Sam's emotions better. One wish I do have is that this book was written with more character development. You didn't really feel pity for Sam or Grace's family situations as I'm sure the author would have expected from a reader.

Anyway, hope someone out there reads this and takes "Shiver" out for a spin. It's either you love it or you hate it. Right now, in the words of McDonald's.."I'm lovin' it!" I'll probably hate it when I wake up later. Well, goodnight to my very few readers out there. Sweet dreams =)
