THE REVIEW:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blind
Blind is a story of revenge, family ties and murder. It’s the perfect book for you if you’ve read similar books, almost Nancy Drew-ish, with more mature themes to it. It starts out by introducing Sarah Pricely, the basic stereotype of a perfect girl... At one exact part, the stereotype is cast away. “I just want to... you know... appreciate the world for a moment. Doesn’t it want to make you live forever?” You get a kind of feeling that Sarah wasn’t so Mary Sue as you expected... But you’ll see the real meaning behind this line only if you read the book.
The prologue is a great beginning to the book, with picturesque descriptions that make you want to be with the characters... Sit down on a beach and read a book. That’s what I wanted to do, at least. It’s just a kind of perfect amount of description. Wren, the narrator and main character, has a realistic kind of train of thought (despite those great descriptions, I think her personality is kind of realistic) that brings you back into the situation of the book. Although the author could work on the info of Chapter 1, considering I wouldn’t know if some readers would always appreciate that.
It loses momentum from the Prologue by the end of the chapter, but the info is all key information, and so is the prologue, for that matter. You get hints during the prologue as to Sarah’s suicide attempt by looking into her personality, and then, in Chapter 1 you get to know what happens next a bit more. Personally, I loved Chapter 1 the best, because it got into the story already. Plot wise, too, it’s a great book.
It’s not an unheard of idea— but the style and the descriptions and the characters are different, don’t stop reading at the summary! —and you could say that judging by the summary, it’s not something incredibly original. But it is. You can’t brand it as cliché because it’s about a murder. Blind has revenge! Drama! Probably a psycho killer!
And BONUS: it’s got AMAZING grammar (a grate bok fo all dowse gramma nazees ouwt dere!). All in all, it’s a book I would probably buy in real life. GO READ IT NOW.
