Hate List (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

Técnicamente, le pondría un 3,5; pero, una vez más, los marcadores enteros, me impiden ser verdaderamente justa. La sinopsis me atrapó y es un buen reflejo de lo que tenemos en el libro. La autora ha conseguido crear algo "real", porque es bastante fiel a cómo se desarrollaría toda la trama en la vida real. Los personajes son a la par superficiales, porque no los llegamos a conocer del todo mediante una descripción o similar, y cercanos. Es una contradicción en toda regla, pero es lo que me ha transmitido , por ejemplo, Valerie. La he terminado por "comprender" y ver las cosas desde su nada envidiable posición. El personaje que mas me ha gustado ha sido, probablemente, Frankie, el hermano pequeño de Val. En realidad no tiene mucho que ver en la historia, pero tiene una personalidad bastante diferente de la que suele tener un hermano, siempre molesto, enfadado... Nick, ha sido el gran enigma que no se termina de conocer. Tenemos todas las piezas del puzzle pero no las colocamos todas en su lugar. Faltan datos por desmigar, por mostrar al lector. En general me ha gustado, el tema es serio, pero se trata desde la perspectiva adolescente del amor perdido, lo que suaviza un poco la tragedia. Se ha perdido, para mi gusto, un poco de garra con detalles que se pasan por alto y a los que no se les da la importancia que merecen, como la verdadera razón del tiroteo en el Cafetín (solo sabemos del odio de Nick hacia el mundo, pero no hay nada sobre quizás la preparación de eso, el papel de Jeremy, que queda en el aire...) The Hate List was a pretty decent book. Besides its story line there is nothing so wonderful about this book. The only reason I like is because it deals with the problem of school shootings. In America I think that is becoming a larger issue, so I like how this book dealt with that. This book also had a cool way of writing, which was a little bit confusing as well. It was interesting because it blended what happened with what is happening. Though I have reasons to like this book, I don’t. There are many reasons for that as well. First of all it was super long, when it didn’t have to be. The author mostly droned on and on about the same thing, when she could have used a lot less words. So basically it took a long time to read. Her characters seem a little too realistic. She wanted to make them so relatable that they became unrelatable. Also too many things were happening at once so not only was it confusing, but also you couldn’t relate to the book. In the end the author writes that Valerie was such a great person and so on, when in the book to me she seemed so bratty and annoying. That means the author didn’t do a good job conveying what they imagined their character to be onto paper. Although it may seem as if I am saying this is a terrible book, I am not. The message is important and it was written in a very unique structure. Although it wasn’t my favorite book it is still readable. This book might also be like by many of other people but not me. Everyone always says that some books explain the life of a teenager and their struggles, but this book goes into too many issues and in not enough depth. Which is why I dislike it.
