Review: Nevermore

Nevermore by James Patterson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I finished this book in a grand total or 4 hours. I think that's a record for me. (I really should start keeping record shouldn't I?)

So, the world ended. It actually ended this time. I was bawling so hard when I thought Max was dead. AND MAX AND FANG FINALLY GOT THEIR BUTTS BACK TOGETHER!!! I was so happy! One of my friends (the one who let me borrow the book) said she wasn't satisfied with the ending. I must disagree though. I was quite satisfied with it. Just about the only thing I have to say against the ending is that it should have gone longer. I would have liked to see how life goes for them in this new world that was just for them.

My after reflection went like this: I've read two books, both in which the world ended.

I thought about it and thought about to figure out what was different and then I got it: In Nevermore, Max had her flock and the people she loved with her despite the apocalypse just having happened. Sloane on the other hand was taken away from those she loved most and saw them worse than dead.

I'm glad I read both of these books so close together. It made me realize that no matter what, should should protect those you love no matter the cost. It doesn't matter if the world is ending. Because when it comes down to it, that's all you have.
