By Kathryn White. Some City: Some Publisher I can't remember, 2010.
This is a horrid book.
An 11 year old South African girl with a heart condition receives the heart of a seventeen year old boy from the other side of the tracks. Over the next couple years, he influences her life from Heaven.
First of all, the writing in this book is horrible. The author uses way too many similies, metaphors and descriptions. Also, the grammar in this book is pretty crummy, even the parts that aren't written by the poor boy.
Second, the characters are terrible. None of them seem to have any morals or scruples: characters gone astray in a country that has gone astray.
Also, I didn't really care for the boy saying Heaven was no better than Earth. Yeah, Kathryn White, way to make our teenagers even more depressed.
As well, I did not at all care for how Emily and Olivia, the heart donor's girlfriend, dyke it out at the end of the novel.
