Live to Tell, Review Day 5
February 9, 2014
Here's my final post relating to Live to Tell. It's been fun, but sadly it must come to an end. This part includes the final element of Live to Tell and my final opinion. Enjoy!
It took a long session of computer pondering and shower thinking to figure out what the theme of Live to Tell really was, but I eventually figured it out after some Chinese food and soda (it's all in the sauce). In Live to Tell the theme is revelation. All mystery books have some kind of revelation towards the end, they're quintessential, but in Live to Tell they're also the added fact that it's told in Libby's perspective, whom is suffering from amnesia struggling to reveal what happened before, as well as finding out things along the way.
This theme is actually pretty strong, working on many levels, and to be honest: it's pretty original and enjoyable, learning about the shady past of Libby.
5/5
Opinion:
Overall I found this book better than what I generally expected. The cover looked generic and the beginning was slow but overall I liked it. The setting was crepe, and the characters were lackluster, but overall I quite enjoyed it with it's amazing plot, theme, and voice.
Now before I get to the end, thank you for viewing this far and sadly this is the end. And now finally, my final rating is...4/5
It was honestly a good book, and got a higher score for just impressing me that much after going in with low expectations . And now I sign off.
All the separate ratings for each category have no impact on the overall rating
My god that was so painful to write as a teen girl who doesn't know she's unpopular
