Book Review Shatter Me By Tahereh Mafi


Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1)Wow I really loved this story. When I first started reading it I wasn't to sure if I was going to like it with all the metaphors the author used, but as the story progressed I found myself enjoying the authors writing style. I am sure there will be plenty of people who will not like the style of writing but I found it intriguing and it made the story all the more better for me.
Shatter Me is about Juliette a seventeen year old girl who has spent the last 264 days locked up in isolation in an asylum for an act she did not mean to commit. See Juliette has a curse or a gift depending on who you are and how you look at it. Juliette has always seen it as a curse. See her touch is lethal and one accident she committed when she was 14 years old has lead her to where she is. Then on day 264 everything changes when Juliette gets a cellmate a young man named Adam. Little does she know that his arrival will change the course of her life as she knows it.
Like I said in the beginning of the review I loved this book and I felt myself drawn to the heroine Juliette. Her struggles with her curse/gift felt believable. Her anguish over what she did when she was 14 was very realistic. This book is definitely an either love it or hate it book and I am glad I am in the love it category. The metaphors were beautifully written. Granted there was a lot of them used in the telling of this story but that is what made this a great story for me. It was definitely a great start to what I hope will continue to be a great series. I will be keeping my eye out for the sequel. Till then I will be waiting impatiently till the next installment is released.
