Addicted After All: A Literary Analysis

742 Words3 Pages



I told myself I wouldn 't cry Hothouse Flower level of crazy, but I totally just did. First while I was reading the book, second while I was writing this review and third during the moment this conclusion prompted me to reevaluate my life.

Sometimes when I grab a remarkable, gripping novel, I get so easily attached to its characters that I sometimes forgot I was actually reading a story about people who don 't even exist at least not in this world.

Everything just felt so real and vivid to me, I laugh when they laugh, I get so proud when something wonderful happen to them and when they cry, I could feel their pain sevenfold. I literally could see myself in the hearth of the story, watching every bit of the drama unfold right between my eyes. I once again fail to remember I was not living in their world.

Addicted After All is the book I didn’t know I wanted and needed until I got it. After seven books, a reader might think there’s nothing new to expect anymore, but I was very wrong. From all the little things to the major plot is the bomb. It is simply brilliant, filled with unexpected twists that will make everyone oooh~lalala .

Addicted After All is even more complex than the initial installments. There are a handful of intricate plot woven all together. I’m so pleased all of the loose ends were wrapped up neatly. (From Ryke apologizing to Lily and to Lily patching up with her parents even though I am still giving Samantha the side eye.) Krista and Becca gave Lily and Lo, the happily ending they deserve. I am in peace.

Addicted Series is not just a book that I read and have liked or love. It’s much more than that. I will never grow tired saying no series ever made me feel this way. I could read it repeatedly and feel the same euphoric happiness I felt while reading it for the first time. It’s such an alien feeling for me. I have never known a fictional world and characters this intimate and I want to treasure that

    One possible theme of Columbine, or the message would be that not everyone is who you think they are. Also you never know what could happen, one day everything’s fine and the next day a tragedy occurs. One reason I think this book was written was to show that in some situations everyone comes together no matter what “type” or “click” they’re in.

    The internet has changed the way we live our daily lives. It changed the way we socialize and has impacted the way we communicate. In the New York Times article, “Addicted to Distractions” by Tony Schwartz, it discusses how the author realized that his addiction to the internet prevented him from creating personal goals that will benefit him.

I guess it's commonly called the golden rule because it's the most important one. Your book, The Running Dream, implied the golden rule so strongly that it really opened my eyes to the fact that I haven't been following it to the best of my ability. The Running Dream was so intriguing and compelling that I found myself nearing the end of the book after only a few days of first starting to read it.

  • Same Kind Of Different As Me By Ron Hall And Denver Moore

    The book consists of many compelling short stories that revolve around the major conflict, which allowed me to read the book without losing interest. However, the book was not just entertaining to read, but taught me many life lessons and allowed me to realize many important facts. For example, in the book, Denver and Ron are two opposite people that have virtually nothing in common and are actually a little bit scared of each other at first. However, after they decide to reach out to one another, they not only become best friends, but end up changing each others’ lives for the better. This reminded me that I could be a little bit more outgoing and friendly in life, reaching out to other people instead of seeing the same couple of faces every day.
