Book Review #2

I am reading The A-Z of You and Me by James Hannah. So far, I love the book. The style of writing is unique and interesting and I mainly picked up the book because I thought the cover was interesting. (Who says don't judge a book on it's cover?) After I picked up the book, I read the back excerpt and I found it really compelling to read. So, I started reading it. I must admit that the beginning is pretty confusing with the main character starting out in a hospital. The story is a tale of backstories and reality. It gives the audience questions that makes them want to keep reading in order to find out the answers to their questions. I also found that the style of the writing in the novel lead me to love the book. I enjoy the balance of character development and dialogue that the book has.

I thought it would also be important to mention  how the style of the alphabet in the writing brings the story to life in a way. Each letter is like one chapter of the novel, with the letters repeating. The character narrates the story in his perspective, and he tells each memory as a letter of the alphabet. The nurse that has been helping him throughout the novel told him to start an alphabet game, where he names something with each letter of the alphabet. This leaves the audience on their toes wondering what the next letter and story of the novel will be.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a mysterious story. Although I am not very far into the story and the novel is not in the mystery genre, I think the mysterious element of the novel allows it to be a "mysterious" story. I would rate this novel 5 stars because of the elements and the quality of the writing.
