The Transition in the Graphics
Different perspective
Making sure that this book always grabs the reader's attention, Cori McCarthy made part of the book like a graphic novel. This gives a reader the chance to attempt a different perspective of reading that influences them to remain excited throughout the book
Character's emotions
Sometimes words can't describe how someone feels. By showing how the characters look and express themselves gives the reader a better understanding of the characters' feelings and emotions throughout the book.
Dig Deeper
Imagination is up to the readers and even though showing pictures isn't easier than using words, McCarthy found a way to make the pictures in this book represent a metaphor, giving the reader a chance to dig and find the hidden meaning buried in the book.
Critics say " More life changing than the "Fault in Our Stars" and more romantic than Divergent."
Inspirational
McCarthy doesn't only influencing her book around meaningful lessons, but she teaches a reader how death can affect someone's life forever. No one understands how powerful and life changing a death of a loved one could be until it happens to them. McCarthy takes the bold risk and finds a way to talk about a subject that people are too scared to understand.
Through her characters McCarthy showed situations everyone has experienced in their life at some point. She made sure that she reached out and touched every reader's heart by showing that they aren't alone in whatever battle that they are going through.
Critics say " Never seen a book so inspirational and interesting like this before. It deserves a movie."
