So, over a course of time, I'm going to reviews for all of these books, starting from the top of this page and working my way down. If you have any books you want me to read and then review, I'm a pretty fast reader, and you can leave your request in the comments. If you exist.

So, here's the first of many Book Reviews To Come (the stars next to the title indicate my rating of the book on a scale of one to five):

***** Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin (published by Square Fish)

I read this book about three years ago and have since half-re-read it before I lost it and

then found it again. So, forgive me if this review isn't too detailed. Here we go!

From what I can remember of this book, it was brilliant. The author catches you

right away and takes you on an unforgettable journey to a world past death known

as "Elsewhere". I'm not usually a person who enjoys books about "life after death"

as I'm religious and they usually go against my beliefs or are just plain old weird.

And creepy. Creepy+weird+anti-Christianity= no. However, despite that, I

thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was an interesting way to look at the world we

live in through the eyes of someone who has left it, and Elsewhere itself was an

obviously well-thought out masterpiece of a world. The idea of aging backwards,

of watching people you used to know living their lives without you, of meeting

people who died long before you were even born, is fascinating and wondrous.

It is an enjoyable read from start to finish.

My age recommendation for readers:

13+
