Far Far Away - Likewise Book Reviews

"absolutely loved this. i had to read it for english class and even though it was slow at the start, it ending up amazing. although i could sort of see the twist coming, there were still so many shocking parts. sobbed at the ending too."

"I loved this book it had great storyline kept you questioning what was going to happen next and this book helped me get back into reading "

"I seem to be in the minority but I felt the book's beginning was way too slow. It didn't feel like anything was happening and I told myself I had to make it to page 181 (halfway through) then if I still didn't like it I could give up, however slightly before the halfway point is when the book picks up and really changes tone. After I finished I was actually really taken aback by how different the story is in the second half then in the first and I couldn't decide if it worked or not. I would lean more on the side that it does since it obviously got me to not only keep reading but at a much quicker pace than in the first half. <br/><br/>The first half kept making me think of Pushing Daisies with the overly cutesy/odd names and phrases, slightly storybook-like but still grounded in reality. (Pushing Daisies was also something I always felt I should like but just never was completely sold on.) I kept trying to figure out what time period it was supposed be. The second half quickly became creepy and Grimm-like. I at first didn't care for the way Jacob was telling the story but as it went on came to like it more and actually was glad he was the one telling the story."

"Loved this book"
