I want to wash my soul in the bottomless blue of his eyes.” “He’s staring at me like he’s never seen me before. “My face is in his hands and my lips are at his lips and he’s kissing me and I’m oxygen and he’s dying to breathe.” Hurt.” “ Exciting Premise, Poor Execusion” Especially with quotes like this :- “His eyes are two buckets of rainwater: deep, fresh, clear.

I found this book repetitive and while I understand we are in Juliette’s thoughts, it gets laborious after a while, Also the romance is a little to sickly, I understand she’s never been touched before but come on when your life’s in danger.

Then one day her life changes when the Reestablishment want to use her to help them in their cause. She is in an asylum for 264 day for touching someone by accident! They leave her to rot because they don’t know what to do with her, while the outside world is changing rapidly. This book takes us on a twisting journey of the main character Juliette, whose life up until now has been less than perfect. Juliette has never fought for herself before but when she’s reunited with the one person who ever cared about her, the depth of the emotion and the power within her become explosive … Shatter Me Book Review But not only is she a threat, she is potentially the most powerful weapon they could have. A touch from her can kill – one touch is all it takes. Juliette is a threat to The Reestablishment’s power. Locked in a cell by The Reestablishment – a harsh dictatorship in charge of a crumbling world. Most of Shatter Me is directionless, and then when it gets some direction, it ends! Oh great, now I got to shed another 17 or so dollars for the sequel, which will be just as heavily marketed that I’ll probably go out and buy it.A fragile young teenage girl is held captive. In my opinion, the first two thirds of the book could’ve been condensed into half and we could’ve gotten more of good story. The book actually ended when it started to get really interesting and good. This book seemed more about setting up for the real story that the sequel will tell. There’s a lot more that happens in this story, which I won’t elaborate on because it’s better to discover things on your own. The love story is a very big part of the story. Honestly, the only thing that kept me reading was the romance. Yes, it made me think Juliette was a little crazy, but it shouldn’t have made me want to laugh. She’s been in solitary confinement for so long, that has to do something to your mental health. I understand the author’s motive behind Juliette’s metaphor-heavy thoughts. Chapters and chapters of them get exhausting. A couple paragraphs of metaphors are cool. Is it possible to only think in metaphors? Apparently in the Shatter Me world it is! The story is told in Juliette’s perspective, and the girl personifies EVERYTHING. There’s something special about Adam, but Juliette can’t put her finger on what that something special is. One day, she gets a cellmate, a boy named Adam. She’s been locked up because her touch can drain the power out of others, kind of like Rogue in X-Men. Shatter Me is about a girl who’s been locked into solitary confinement for almost year.

It was a very good idea that I didn’t read much because I might have given up reading Shatter Me if it weren’t for the slight curiosities that I had developed. All I knew was that this chick’s touch was lethal. When I finally got to book, I decided to read it without reading what it’s about. Ironically, all the advertising seemed to disappear right then. It started to bug me so much that I gave in and bought the book. I’d see several tweets, Facebook statuses, advertisements, etc. Shatter Me was a book that was always in my face whenever I was surfing through the internet. In fact, it makes me like what they’re advertising less. I am usually one not to respond to excessive amounts of advertising.
