My Thoughts
It had been a while since I received this book review request. I'm not sure how I had skipped over it, but accidents happen! Anyways, as soon as I realized what happened, I put it on my kindle and started reading. I didn't take the time to read the synopsis, I just jumper right in. Going in without a clue is a lot of fun sometimes but it can also be confusing as well.
The Fountain gets you right from the beginning! As soon as I read the first chapter I was hooked. I remembered the review request, the synopsis, and I was immediately excited!
Now, while this book did have some of the typical characters (all-american girl, the boyfriend, the cute boy at school, the mean girl, the cheerleaders, etc...) it wasn't at all a typical book. The ending, for example, was a wonderful surprise! Not at all what I expected to happen.
If you can't already tell, I enjoyed The Fountain very much and I highly recommend it! It wasn't completely without flaws, but honestly, what book is? Very enjoyable and entertaining!
*Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
