NOW A SMASH HIT AMAZON PRIME TV STARRING SAM CLAFLIN, RILEY KEOUGH AND CAMILA MORRONE THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the author of THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO and the bestselling MALIBU RISING 'I LOVE it. Are there people you do not see? Are you paying attention to the way the world smells, feels and sounds? That's a dad's perspective on the book here is a daughter's: This book was more interesting than other books because it was a bit like a puzzle. In those, the main character (described by my reviewing partner below) talks about how sighted people seem to be the ones who are visually impaired because they do not truly see what and who are around them. I was particularly moved by a few passages that inspired the title. Most impressively, like a magician, he performs this and other deeds without drawing attention to them. For example, although he is a sighted person himself, he takes on the perspective of not being able to see and instead describes the world through the other senses. Marcus Sedgwick, author of She is Not Invisible, performs several incredible feats of writing. What would it be like? How would a writer describe the world from the perspective of a person with a visual impairment? How often do the books you read have descriptions of the smell, feel, and sound of things? If you can see and have normal vision then imagine if you did not or were even born blind. I would bet in most cases that the writer notes how things would look if you could be there and see what the writer describes. How do writers describe the world in the books that you read? Take a look at a book you are reading, or have read recently and find a description of a person, place or thing. By the end of the book, I felt like I really knew them, and that was amazing. Just because I can’t relate as much to Beck or August doesn’t mean that I can connect with them. In some books, I can really relate to the characters, like with Hattie Brooks, in Hattie Big Sky. The writing pulled me in, and wouldn’t let me go until I reached the very last page. I really loved reading this book for multiple reasons, and one was that once I started reading, I couldn’t put the book down. The dialogue and banter was fun to read, and the description and overall writing was beautifully done. The plot of this book was very well done, and I had an amazing time reading it. What I thought was the main idea, or plot, of the story changed multiple times, only making me more and more interested and excited to read on. I was excited and intrigued by this plot, and it only got better as the story went on. When Beck meets August, a girl full of life, energy and laughter, love begins to awaken within him and he glimpses a way to escape his painful existence. But Beck is too scared to stand up to his mother, and tell her his true passion, which is composing his own music – because the least suggestion of rebellion on his part ends in violence. He will never play as she did before illness ended her career and left her bitter and broken. Most of all, he hates the piano that his mother forces him to play hour after hour, day after day. An emotionally charged story of music, abuse and, ultimately, hope.īeck hates his life.
