(if you like Caspar David Friedrich you may recognize the background of this one.)Įach image comes with a paragraph explanation. In middle school I would have excited displayed at image like this on the wall. I first heard of this artist when I was a teen, and I have to say that my main take-away from the book was how much my taste and understanding of technique have developed over the years. If you don't like the cover, don't bother. Do you like the cover? Then you'll probably like the book (although mostly the paintings are more colorful). Thomas' paintings are pretty and rather same-ish.

But when Max returns home, he finds it's easier to be fearless with strangers than it is among friends, and he is not particularly proud of the way his behavior over the summer hurt people.

Without them I would not exist.īecause these words I write down are the only proof I have that I'm still alive. The Shatter Me series is a young adult dystopian thriller series written by Iranian-American author Tahereh Mafi. I can use letters to construct skyscrapers and metropolitan cities populated by people, places, things, and ideas that are more real to me than these 4 walls. I can fit them together to form planets and solar systems. I can stitch them together to create oceans and ecosysystems. I need to show you guys a passage of Juliette's Journal, so here yah go:Ģ6 letters are all I need. I'm really excited to see if Tehereh Mafi writes more books. He drove me insane! Juliette is such a strong character! She's broken and sad, but she's so head strong and she's just really amazing and Warner is one of the only person who really sees her full potential and Adam is just so freaking annoying! I hate Adam so that's why I'm rating it the way I did. He acted like she was a burden, and that she was holding him down, she's the weak link, she's trapped in her head, she can't protect herself. I found that Adam didn't care as much as he should've. This was also really interesting, but I had to wonder if Tehereh Mafi purposely wrote Adam the way he was or if she wrote his character the way that Warner imagines him. Fracture Me follows Adam right after Unravel Me.
