Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld
4.0
Rating: 3.75 stars
At the beginning I kinda liked the book. Then after a few chapters, I realized I couldn't picture anything in my head. This was because Scott didn't describe how anything looked. He didn't describe the color of someone's hair, how tall they were, or even if that character had glasses. This completely pissed me off but I still kinda liked the story. Plus, I never NOT finish a book so I pushed myself. It took me way longer to read this book than normal. In the end, it was a pretty good book. I loved Darcy's story and I wish there was more of it. I think authors should do full biographies. Lots of readers want to know what it's like to be an author. It would be amazing to be able to read how your favorite author started, how they felt, how they handled big book events, etc. Scott kinda stepped into that with this book except he made someone else be the author instead of himself. This book was very interesting and had a wonderful concept but missed some key details that make many people love reading.
