If I Stay is a pretty popular
book right now, I am pretty sure there is movie premiering soon. In
fact, I wouldn’t have been interested in reading the story if not
for the movie trailer. A friend and I were watching the movie The
Fault In Our Stars, watching the previews, when this trailer
comes on. Just a shout out to whoever designed it THE ONLYREASON WHY
I WANTED RO READ THE STORY WAS FOR THE LAST CHAPTER SO NEXT TIME YOU
DESIGN A TRAILER MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT GIVE AWAY THE ENTIRE MOVIE!
THAT TENDS TO MAKE BUYING TICKETS USELESS.
So basically my friend and I had this
joke where for weeks all we would say is how much we wanted to just
read the last chapter, just to know how the story ends. Anyway, this
book was really nice, it kept me in suspense the whole time, it used
the literary device flashbacks amazingly. I also liked that there
was a strings player (Mia, the main character, was a cellist, I
myself am a bassist). Because I choose to NOT spoil the entire story
line, I will just won’t disclose anything that wasn’t on the dust
jacket. I will try to reveal nothing in the book and advise you to
NOT watch that trailer unless you want to know the whole story. So
Spoiler Alert. Basically Mia is a teenager with dreams to attend
Julliard to study music, she has her parents, little brother (Teddy),
boyfriend (Adam),and best friend (Kim). But one day all of that
changes when her family (her included) gets into an accident with a
semi-truck. From then on the book focuses on her thoughts and
memories while in a coma which is a really nice way for us, the
reader, because we can see a lot of what is happening outside of Mia
herself, if that makes any sense.
It made sense! I always wonder if someone in a coma could hear what's going on around them and what they thought. I'd want to read the book for that reason! Don't know about the movie, though! Nice review, Lily!!! S.G.
