From that point on though, its a mix of an entertaining book, and so many issues. The commas were an easily explained part since it could have to do with it being written by Juliette who hasn’t had a lot of schooling. I think if it hadn’t been for me already having all the other books in the series I may not have continued from this one. This was a book to get used to, between the severe lack of commas, basic tropes, and strange villains that all fit under the basic YA grouping. Shatter Me – Book #1 Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars

I’ll go more into this later in the reviews. It sounds like I’m whining but this is becoming one of my new book pet peeves as it happens more and more. I think my biggest problem developed with books 4-5, which felt like more of an extension of the first three than a cohesive continuation of the plot, like it had been an afterthought instead of planned from the beginning. I think a lot of that had to do with one character in particular, but I was entertained at the very least. I’m going to break this down book by book a little, but overall this was a pretty easy series to binge once I got past book one. Everything changes though when her jailers put a new prisoner in the cell with her, and it’s someone she knew a long time ago.

In this asylum she has not interacted with another human being for years, and the only activities she has are writing in her journal, and the trek to the shower, which is a danger in itself. Summary:įor those who haven’t heard about the Shatter Me series, it’s about Juliette, who has for the longest time lived in a psych ward of sorts as a new regime has taken over the United States. On a last note, this is a series review, so there are likely spoilers ahead. I just know with reviewing a popular series, I might really be stepping into it, but too late now I guess.

Before we get going I do want to say that this is my opinion, so please don’t get mad at any statements made in this review. So, here we go, I read five books of a series in one month, and we are all wondering what I thought. A bit of a risky move knowing me, but sometimes you just need an all or nothing situation. Finally I saw several of the books at a used bookstore, and just went ahead and grabbed all of the books currently published. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi has been one of those books I’d heard about for the longest time, and questioned if I should or shouldn’t pick up the books. There are a lot of really popular books out there, and a decent list from there that I have yet to read, and know I probably should.
