Reviews: Every Day (16)
“Amazing!”
(Paperback)
by Chrys - Plymouth
One of my favourite books of the year - beautifully written and emotionally compelling. I could not put it down and was almost bereft when I finished it. This captivating story is told from the point of view of A, A has no body and every day wakes up inhabiting someone else's. I loved the way that A experienced every body differently, giving perspective to all manner of illness such as depression and addiction. A must read for all ages!!!
“struggled to put it down”
(Paperback)
by Samantha Berry
David Levithan has an enchanting way of grabbing you and pulling you into the pages of his story. To be able to write in the detail this book requires takes a real flare for creative writing, the story is consistently strong and a powerful message comes through from start to finish about human perception of others and relationships. The ending for me wasnt what I expected but the full book took me on a journey far from how I thought the story would go. This book should be on everyone's reading list.
“Heartbroken </3”
(Paperback)
by LailyDawn
I was looking for a book to fill a long journey, picking up 'Everyday' not expecting to become as hooked that I was. 24 hours later I am left completely heartbroken, that the book had ended and the way that it did. I was completely immersed in the characters and the way that the words were written, turning every page with wonder... fantastic book and I will definitely be picking up another Levithan book!
“I read this book in a matter of hours- it's brilliant!”
(Paperback)

So I finished this book in a single day...I'm not sure I have ever done that before. That means that I really enjoyed this book right? I'm not sure enjoyed is the best word to describe my thoughts of this book. Frustrating comes to mind. Frustrated because with every chapter you question as to how is "this" actually going to work, surely its got to work out, but how can it? It was an exhausting and desperate read to find a solution and yet it resulted in such hopelessness, and still I kept on reading on my travels to the Somerset countryside. Getting towards the end I was still uncertain of how this heart-wrenching story will come to a close. "A" is described as male or female who wakes up every day in a different body. To comprehend this is challenging, to see myself in that situation I'm not sure I could handle pretending to be someone new every day and not have one person to have as my own- just a temporary being. Despite knowing this, its all A is aware of I guess. The complications of A's love for Rhiannon really brought out some strong emotions in me, like I said previously to not have someone for yourself who you can call your own was truly upsetting to witness A go through. A whirlwind romance I guess you can call it, trust being an important element but the unknown of who A was every day seemed somewhat impossible to get in a "routine" with. I think my one complaint with A would be that he/she wasn't selfish, I wanted a different outcome for A but if anything A represented how unhuman he/she was. A normal human would I think be more selfish with the decisions A faced, at times A's human side shone through but in the end to me he reflected a different behavior that was indeed sweet but an emotional tear-worthy outcome. I could nit pick at all the issues that this book brings up in moral decision making, I could discuss it for hours of how if I was A what I would have done in the situations and why. A truly questioning and page-turner of a book that I fully recommend to anyone who loves questioning everyone and everything!
“Oh, A.”
(Paperback)
by Victoria Sucek
This book was one of the first books I completely finished. So I might be a little biased? But it was a good book. The whole thing tied perfectly, It's one of the reasons I read so much now. Without this book I don't think I would be where I am today. Heartbreakingly beautiful.
