Out of all of the things I enjoyed in this book, Tahereh Mafi’s writing style is the most memorable. Some of the passages seemed to paint Juliette s emotions so precisely that it was as if I was her bleeding heart. Her writing connects things so that you can clearly see what the character is thinking. I really recommend this book just for those …
It’s a SUPER HERO BOOK! So didn’t see that coming. I totally started having x-men flashbacks. But Mafi’s voice is so dang unique that the whole thing felt fresh and new.
She breaks tons of grammar rules, but the key is SHE DID IT WELL. You can breaks rules as long as you know the rules well enough to understand how to “shatter” them the right …
I loved this book a lot. I think one of the things I struggle with, when reading fantasy and dystopian (and other genre fiction) is that sometimes the quality of writing (prose) is sacrificed. It’s difficult to find something that has had a lot of attention paid to the quality of the writing, and even more difficult to find something with both a …
Love, love, love this one! The writing is beautiful and the characters are awesome! It’s like a dystopian X-Men! And with great swoon and action!
Mafi can write romance like a boss. Love the characters, love the style… beautiful and unique.
The first time I read this book I was blow away by the beautiful prose and how original it seemed. Little did I know the entire series would shift in a way I never expected and I loved every minute of it. If you haven’t read this book and you love YA dystopian stories, get it. Devour it. Fall in love with it.
I didn’t expect to enjoy reading this book as much as I did. I wish I didn’t put it off for so long in fear that I would be wasting my time. This book surprised me and was executed very well. I don’t think anyone could have written this story better!
Shatter Me has many wonderful characters that I enjoyed reading. I love how unique each character …
This is one of many series I heard so much about that I had to see what all the fuss is about.
And I must say that the first half of the book I kept asking myself why why why. The book was written so well that not only Juliette felt tortured but I did as well. The writing was tricky good , I wanted to quit but I couldn’t, It just kept me glued to …
I will say this that for awhile in the book it is confusing and slow. But, this book speeds up quickly and you are left hanging on and begging to read more and more. The main characters are absolutely amazing in this book. I could totally see Juliette in my mind and see what she was thinking throughout this book. I felt horrible for her and all …
Its good
I absolutely loved Shatter Me. I haven’t read the second book yet, but the first one was amazing. I couldn’t put it down for the longest time.
I loved the way Tahereh Mafi wrote it. I think that was how it initially drew me in. It was different than any book I have read. I even incorporated elements from her writing into my own. It is written …
Holy smokes Batman it’s Juliette!
Wow
What an awesome action packed addictiingly intense start to a series !
I’m totally hooked and excited to have found this series on a recommendation from a friend !
Juliette is imprisoned and alone until she’s not … and her life is about to change drastically! She has this ability to draw someone’s life …
Its so amazing! I really recommend this for people who love romance and suspense!
“We were killing ourselves by trying to stay alive.”
This is an epic read, fast-paced, dramatic and eerie. Reminds me a bit of a ‘Miss Peregrine’s’ but with a dystopian twist. Ends on a cliffhanger (worth it). Recommend.
4.5 stars.
Note:
I listened to the audiobook and I strongly recommend this experience. The narrator’s voice is …
as u go on in the story and began shipping people just know every ship will get its turn
This was recommended to me a while ago and I finally got a chance to read it. Juilette is a wonderful character. She goes through so much but takes it in stride. She has to deal with a change she never saw coming and instead of folding into herself, she spread her wings, even if she knew it would be bad for her in the end. She endured and it’s …
4.5 stars, but rounded up to 5 because it really was well-written despite the more “steamy” parts not being my thing (it made sense the first time Juliette was able to touch someone, but it got old fast) and despite it ending up a lot like X-Men near the end. The novel depicted Juliette’s initial brokenness very well, and seemed to capture …
I love this book. It just has something that makes me want to read all of it.
Liked this book alot! it was such a page turner for me.
This is breathtaking and will engulf all your emotions. My heart breaks for Juliette and Warner and the broken world in which they live. There is something almost frightening in reading of this world and it’s hardships when it so closely could be a window into our future. Juliette is so very likable, I’ve seen other people’s reactions to her and …
