Hey bro,
Today I'm going to be reviewing Tape, which I had mixed opinions on, I particularly liked the cover art but the book in itself was disappointing.
I was drawn to the book's bright cover when in the young adult section in WHsmiths last week. Upon seeing the cover up closely I imagined the book was just going to be another ordinary romance book but it really isn't. It's about about a girl, Ameliah who finds a tape in her new house, when she lays it she hears a boys voice which she believes is speaking to her. The boy is Ryan who talks about his hopes, dreams, fear and most importantly his love for a girl who doesn't know he exists.
The cover reminded me of the first few chapters of 'Eleanor and Parc' by Rainbow Rowell because of the importance of tapes in their relationship when it starts to grow, along with comic books. The curly hair of the girl is also how I imagined Eleanor. If you've read this please tell me if you thought the same!
I must say I really did give this book a chance, I wanted to like it so badly, there was an original idea with interesting characters but the story line just wasn't interesting enough. Needless to say I finished it, in hope that it would get better but it didn't. Not much happened and that's why it took me so long to finish it. Normally with a book you count down the minutes until you can pick it up again but I just didn't feel that with this. I'm sorry if you feel I've been to harsh but these really are just my opinions.
That's all, see you guys soon!
