Book review no. 1

Floored // Sara Barnard / Holly Bourne / Tanya Byrne / Non Pratt / Melinda Salisbury / Lisa Williamson / Eleanor Wood

Spoiler-free:

Overall, I really loved this book. It’s quite a quick read but it’s fast pace and interesting. I read a few reviews saying that because it’s split between six different perspectives, they felt as though you didn’t get to know the characters enough so if you enjoy in depth books that include a lot of laid out information, this book probably isn’t for you. I thought that the story line itself was easy to understand, realistic and engaging. Basically, six 15-year-olds get in a lift as strangers and then meet again on the same day every year.

SPOILERS:

I loved the way the authors brought the six teenagers together by all of them witnessing the death of the delivery guy. I didn’t expect it at all and I liked how the teens didn’t know what to do when he collapsed (heart attack) because not many 15-year-olds would handle the situation well. I loved the character development, especially Hugo and his change from egotistical-rich kid to overall-nice-rich kid.

It is a young adult book so don't expect extremely sophisticated but I felt, as a 15-year-old myself, that the authors managed to captured the thoughts of teenagers really well.

My stop on the “Floored” tour with a review

Hello everyone and welcome to my stop on the “Floored” tour.

Don’t forget to hop on the other stops!

I turned the last page and was left wanting more so I am hoping to see the “Floored” crew again soon.

As far as multiple POVs and collaborative novels go, this one was really well put together. Each character got a fair amount of screen time and an intermission summary helped joining the dots in…
