Hi Riley. This weekend I finished The Geography of You and Me. I decided in the end the book was only okay. I think it’s going to be a rather forgettable story. The ending was the best part of the book I think, but what you had to read to get there made it not worth it. I didn’t really enjoy reading this that much. I just felt somewhat obligated to continue. Maybe it was because I was already so far.

Overall I rate this book 4/10. It lacked a climax, leaving the book to be more boring. I like when books are so good you have to continue reading, but it wasn’t like that with this book.

Have you finished it yet? Let me know.

Hi Riley. I’m about halfway through the book but I haven’t really taken a particular liking or disliking yet.Maybe it’ll just be a book I’m sort of ‘eh’ about.  What I like about GY&M is how the book is split into sections: here, there, everywhere, somewhere and home. I think the book is sort of about how what if you meet the right person at the wrong time, and that’s an interesting topic. I believe in fate though and think things will work out like they should.

The book kind of jumped into things fast so I understand why you wouldn’t like that; especially compared to Maze Runner which had a slow but exciting build up. I didn’t think it was so bad but I find myself waiting for something climatic to happen. Maybe closer to the ending.

Central Park is a really cool place to see; especially the John Lennon memorial. People sit around there playing music and it’s nice. It’s a fully man-made park which seems strange when you’re there because you might not have guessed it. I agree, I don’t think I would live there but would love to visit more.

I’m hoping to finish the book soon but might not as I’m trying to read another book simultaneously and I enjoy it more. I’ll put Wonder on my list.

Hi Riley, this week I started a new book. I mentioned it in my introduction post, it’s The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith. So far it’s pretty good. I think having a blackout in a city like New York would be really amazing but maybe not the heat. It wasn’t hot when I visited NYC with my class in March, it was snowing so it’s hard to imagine that. I like the characters alright so far but they don’t exactly pop out at me. I do like the idea of postcards that they talked about though. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a postcard that says “Wish You Were Here” before. I think it would be as cheesy as described.

I don’t think that this book will be as good as Maze Runner but then again, I didn’t think I would even like Maze Runner. I’ve never read a book by Jennifer E. Smith; she’s not a bad writer so far. It just hasn’t jumped out at me yet, and when I say ‘it’ I mean a moment when I know I like the book. I’m not quite there.

Have you started it? If you have do you feel the same or have you taken a liking/disliking? Get back to me when you can.
