Book Talk - Me before you~ jojo moyes

Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Good Evening Everybody! [music starts] Today I want to discuss some things with you about this book. Me. You. Let's talk. I have wanted to read this book for a long time. Even when the movie was announced, I still wanted to read the book first. How did I feel about it? Well. Before reading this book, I was very excited. I first heard about this book- it was actually because of the movie. When "Me Before You" came out... I think a couple of months ago? And I saw the previews, and I thought that it would be a great love story. And then I heard that is was actually a book. I wanted to watch the movie for a while but actually reading the book I always knew- you know, Books usually are better. I mean, maybe not all the time. but from my experience the books and movie- movie adaptations of a book usually aren't as good. They always miss details. Still, I was surprised. The book was so good. So good. Like, really good. I finished reading the book in about a day and a half. The author left me wanting more [to read]. No, that's not quite true. The only thing that I really had a complaint about Is that- Is this turtle-back. The type of quality of this book [cover]. I don't usually see turtle-backs that often. Unless they're old books or I don't know. Apparently this book isn't that old. It's a 2012. Well, it was published in 2012. But I really don't like turtle-backs because they're hard to stay open. You know, like, if I try to keep it open I try and open it It always flips close. You know, it's not something conducive for my writing- for my READING style. Not writing style. It's not conducive for my reading style. But it's not the author's fault. So, I guess that's not really a complaint for the author, Jojo I'm sorry Jojo. It has nothing to do with you. Maybe it does. Maybe you prefer it this way. But I did not. I don't like it. Maybe it's the publisher's fault. So one critique that I have of the book is that the main character, Louise, she meets this guy And, you know, she gives herself- She has six months to complete this task. But from the very beginning I already knew, like, what was gonna happen would happen. There were a few things that still surprised me, obviously, which is what kept me hooked on the book. But surprisingly, like, I kind of had sort of an idea that maybe that certain things would happen. Because I really felt for I really felt for that character that she worked with. For Will. Like I really I really felt bad for him. So I can kind of understand why how the book ended- ended that way. Even though, like, I knew- I kind of figured what would happen would happen. I still really liked the story. It took me- like I said- like a day and a half to read it. And I guess it was because the characters itself were- I was invested in them. I love Louise and her her sense of being, her sense of person. Will and his wittiness because you kind of got a glimpse of who he was before and who he is now. He' s crippled now. He's paralyzed. He can't be the same person. His life isn't as fully fulfilled. But, like the other characters, the sub-characters, you know, Louise's family Will's family I think- I don't know if she really shows that she has friends. But how his friends react to after his situation compared to maybe like how they were in his life before. I really found interesting how they all reacted. I wasn't- I was not disappointed. Especially towards the end. I would say. The girl Louise shows a couple of characteristics. 1)... 1) to be very energetic/busy 2) to be very creative 3) to talk a lot She's pretty cool. She's older than me in this story This character. But her life is kind of at a stand still. by the time she starts- well no, when she starts [in] this story. So going through the story you kind of see a transformation within her and I really enjoyed the progression of who she was in the beginning to how she was at the end. You know, you kind of get glimpses of of her own history because- Despite the fact that she likes to talk, and even though most of the story is in her perspective There is a reason why she is the way she is. And so, I thought that was really interesting. I did. Probably won't see the movie because I like how the characters are in my head, how I see them, and how things play out. And I really don't want to see it the Directors, or Producers, or whoever, I don't know how it all works who all how they all create the story, but I really don't want to see how they decide to do it because I feel like their version will just not make me happy. [laughs] And I'm just like, "ehh." I will read the next book. So it's, "Me After You." I believe by Jojo Moyes. By J-o-j-o Moyes. or Moyes [pronounces it differently]. My name is Caira Coleman and I will see you next video. Bye!
