I was recommended More Than This by a friend, and I took her up on her offer solely due to her disjointed and spontaneous commentary throughout the novel. For her to be babbling like that, it must have been good. And boy, was I right!
More Than This starts when the main character dies. Suffice to say I was shocked when this happened, and didn’t really understand what was going on. This feeling continued when Seth then woke up alone in an abandoned England. Honestly, I’ve never felt so out of the loop whilst reading a book before. It was kind of irritating, but intriguing all the same. It got to the point where teachers were shouting at me for reading in class, and I wasn’t paying attention because I hadn’t stopped reading to listen.
If you’re going to read this book, which I recommend you do, be sure you have a lot of free time on your hands to feel confused, angry, confused, upset, and confused.
PS Don’t read it in class.
