Book Review #7 All the Bright Places

All the Bright Places

by Jennifer Niven 

Review by: Cookiemonstr 

Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him.

Violet Markey lives  for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death.

When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy who’s not such a freak after all. And it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink.

This book was truly fantastic. I loved Finch and Violet, and their relationship. This book is funny and sad ( that's understatement, it's depressing). It really gets you thinking about suicide, and how if you know about someone having thoughts of killing themselves you should tell and try to help them. While reading this book I was on a emotional roller coaster. I remember reading this next to Moo Moo Cow and got mad and yelled out kids are evil. And kids can be evil. Finch is bullied (which is kind of weird because he seems like a really cool person) and depressed. His father left his mom for another women and her kid. Finches Dad Abuses him, And I just get so mad thinking about that. It's like

 

Very bad things should happen to people who Abuse their kids. Violet helps Finch be a little happier. Violet likes the real Finch and that's very good for him, you know. This is kind of like a true story. The Author loved this boy and unfortunately he kills him self. *Sniffs* Even though this book will make like this

Yeah that sad. When you finish the book you'll be so sad the when you read the last page of the acknowledgements you'll be like this

For hours. Don't let that make you not want to read the book though, it's too good not to read. Okay I better go before I start crying from thinking about how sad this is. 

Cookiemonstr out.
