Book Review #1 - Abandon

Geez, I haven't blogged in forever. Well I'm back now! I decided to use my blog as a book review instead of going on Goodreads or a bookstore website. I might still review on those as well, but I think I would much rather use my blog, instead of a website that will limit how much I can write. I may even do book reviews on Youtube. So this is my shot at a book review. If anybody is reading this, tell me how I did!

#1. Abandon by Meg Cabot
I really enjoyed this book. Its set on a small island called Isla Huesos, following a seventeen year-old girl who died. In the "Underworld" (I'm not so sure that was the Underworld, but it will have to do) she meets a guy named John, who tells her she has died and that she is to stay with him. She doesn't react well to that, and ends up running through a door that takes her back to her body. Then her story continues with a series of other events having to do with the fact that she died and met John.
The first few pages are a little slow, but once you get past that, you won't be able to put it down. I especially liked how Meg left every character a mystery except for the main character (Pierce) an her grandmother.
All in all, the book was awesome. I would recommend it to anyone who likes Greek Mythology (the book was inspired by the myth of Hades and Persephone). It is definitely in my favorites.
