Jour De Ma Vie

Overall, the writing definitely hits me as intended for a younger audience than the high school upperclassmen and freshman college girls I know that read the series. Both the dialogue and the quality strike it hard as if I’m reading a Hardy Boys book.

However, even though I’m only 50 pages into it, there’s some things that already make this book pretty solid:

• Despite simple dialogue and writing, you still can pull out character personality, relationship and development from the story. So there is some attachment value in the characters.
• It’s dark, but still brings in the humour. Unfortunately being a young adult novel, the dark humour I’ve seen hasn’t been that dark.
• It’s dystopic. Dystopic novels are typically rich in evoking emotions in some way or another. 1984, V for Vendetta, amongst others can seem very intensive.
