*The wonderful people at HarperCollins Publishers sent me an advanced copy of Neal Shusterman's newest work of fiction. I had heard a lot about the story so I was excited to read.
What It Is About - FIVE Things You Need to Know:
*Ash is like any other high-school football player, except he isn't.
*After getting hit during a game, Ash finds himself in another "world".
*At first, he just believes he is in a dream-state, but then life goes very off course.
*Just as soon as he finds himself back in the "real" world, he travels to other dimensions/worlds/states.
*While "visiting" he finds alternate realities with bits and pieces of his past mixed with a variety of people, events, and historical perspectives.
What I Thought Of It - Five Observations/Reflections:
*I have read other Neal Shusterman stories in the past so I know the experience will be like no other.
*The story of Ash and his "travels" was interesting, unique, and thought provoking.
*While reading, I was fascinated by the alternative worlds and how each world taught Ash an important lesson.
*I did get confused during some portions of the novel, but I kept going and focused on the overall plot.
*While this type of "genre" isn't my favorite, I did enjoy the book, the characters, and what Neal was trying to present within the pages of the novel.
Who Should Read It:
*Of course any Neal Shusterman fan would be the ideal audience for the new book. Of course readers in high-school and/or college would be the target group. I also know many adult readers who devour Neal's stuff and think they are the best. Happy Reading!
