Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Publisher: HarperCollins
Date Published: February 5th 2013
Genre: Young Adult Dystopia Romance

I LOVE HATE IT WHEN AUTHOR'S DO THAT! The ending left you wanting more. A lot more. You have questions unanswered, love triangles still up in the air, and hell breaking loose.

After I read Shatter Me I was TEAM ADAM all the way. But then I read Destroy Me. And suddenly I was TEAM WARNER. At the beginning of Unravel Me I was 80% sure Adam would end up with Juliet and I would be crying over Warner. Now? I'd say it's a fifty-fifty shot.

There wasn't all that much about Adam in Unravel Me. There wasn't a lot of Warner either. We were mainly caught up in Juliet's angst. I wanted more Warner. I don't know if I'm TEAM ADAM or TEAM WARNER anymore. I'll miss both of them if either of them die or end up alone.

You have got to understand that I love Tahereh Mafi's style of writing as much as I love the story she's written. I love the way she's created Juliet's mind. It's beautiful. Imaginative. Surreal. Extraordinary. It's magic.

In Unravel Me you have Juliet learning to harness her curses gifts and her hidden rage. Friendships begin and lives end. You have one helluva twist concerning Juliet's two lover boys. Don't ask because I won't tell. No spoilers from me. Read the damn book!

This book is just so, so amazing. It's one of my favorites in the entire world. It may even be better than the first. You have to read it, and I don't care what the nincompoops have to say--this book is the BOMB!

Synopsis:

tick

tick

it's almost

time for war.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.

 

     Just a little note from moi, The Kooky Bookworm. I think my local bookstore did something wrong with this book. I've looked everywhere, and they all say that this book came out on the 5th of February. I bought it on the 2nd. Maybe they had a newbie doing setup or something? I don't know, and I'm not complaining. I got to read the book before all of you! Mwahahaha! Only... I didn't actually read it right away because I was in the middle of a bunch of other books... but I could've, if I wanted to. Right. Yeah...

Oh.My.Freaking.Holy.Jesus.God. This has to be the best book I have ever read, and I've read quite a few books. This was so different than I expected it to be. It was amazing. Awesome. Epic. {through in uber-cool adjectives here}

I mean, I knew that I would probably like, especially considering it sounded a lot like X-Men and my favorite character in X-Men is Rogue. But this was a dystopian novel, and those I usually don't dig. But I truly loved it.

Before this my favorite book/series in the whole wide world was the Hush, Hush Saga, because like every other girl I absolutely adored Patch. But this is even better. Probably because of the soldiers. I've always imagined myself falling in love with a soldier, mainly because growing up overseas your parents either work for the military or D.O.D. (Department of Defense)

But the way the author wrote the book, like with the whole crossing-the-words-out and such, its relatable to how I think sometimes. Though my personal dilemmas aren't nearly as drastic as killing a person with a simple touch of my hand. And I've never been in an asylum, and I'm not sure I ever want to be.

I guess this book is my new favorite because it's relatable, in a weird way. I mean, I don't have any supernatural/paranormal powers, I haven't fallen in love yet, and I don't really worry about food shortages where I live.

But it goes back to the whole soldier thing. Most of my friends have parents in either the army, air force, navy, or marines. So the soldier thing is understandable. And honestly, since I'm such a paranormal geek I love the idea of having powers and standing out from other people, though it would really suck not being able to touch anyone.

And the falling in love thing. I'm probably way to young to fall in love, but its something I've always yearned for since I began reading young adult paranormal romance novels. I suppose its naive to think things like that, but you have to feel it to understand it. You can't really explain it. That's why I like this book. It relatable in a totally unrelateable way, sort of like an oxymoron.

I read on the author's website that the books been out since November and already she's sold the movie rights. That's pretty impressive from my perspective, I've read some pretty amazing books that have been out for years and have not once gotten their movie rights sold.

I suggest you read it, if your into paranormal dystopian romance novels. Or even if your not, its pretty surprising how good it is. I'd say it definitely rivals my other favorite books. :D
