random blog post about safe haven

I have just recently come across the book Safe Haven (very exciting, I know). I was aimlessly roaming the "learning" commons during first bell study hall.  The library/instructor person was giving me death eyes so I thought, self... do something productive. I decided to search for a new book, considering I just finished The Beginning of Everything (check that out by the way, it's good). I found Safe Haven, but nothing else.  Maybe I wasn't even looking very well. It was Monday, and I was pounded with death eyes by talkative librarians not to be named. Not to mention being stared at by other students giving me the evil eyes. Why? I don't know. Don't you love high school?

Before I go on and on about nothing that has relevance to my book, I must change the subject. I picked the book because of the movie. I know that the golden rule of reading is to always read the book before seeing the movie, but honestly I didn't even know it was a book until yesterday. I loved the movie, it was one of those where you can watch it over and over, but never get tired of it.  I really hope the book is the same way. If you want to check it out, I suggest going to the public library... or you will get death-eyed!!!! (Is that even a verb?)

The Beginning of Everything

I rate this book 4.99 out of 5 stars.  This book (up to the last chapter) is a five star book, but-spoiler alert-the main character's dog dies.  Cooper was not a big character in the book because, well, he's a dog... but he was a good dog.  Cooper was a cute, old little poodle that always listened to Ezra.  Cooper dying seriously made me cry in the middle of first bell study hall.  Having study hall first bell is pretty horrible, but crying half the time? That's pretty bad.

I liked the way the author made this easy to relate to.  Not all high-schoolers have relationship problems,(because their not in a relationship) but this book was good anyways.  I recommend this book to anyone that likes realistic fiction, and is looking for a good read.

The Beginning of Everything

This book reminded me of The Fault in our Stars.  Not because of the plot, but because of the way it is narrated.  It is in first person, and the narrator (Ezra) expresses their opinion about everything that is happening in their life.  Ezra introduces and describes all the characters, he narrates all his experiences, and he gives his opinion about all the characters too.  He is humorous (like Hazel Grace) and he loves making fun of himself and his disability (also like Hazel Grace).

I think that anyone who loves books about high school would love this book.  It shares stories about his high school experience on every end of the high school spectrum.  Boys would like it (because it is narrated by a boy) and girls would like it (because it is narrated by a self proclaimed hot boy).
