A review by sam_hartwig
Across the Universe by Beth Revis
4.0
I was blown away by this book. It wasn't what I was expecting at all, I thought this was going to be a romance set on a ship in space with a simple murder mystery. But it wasn't that at all! It was SO much more.
The first part of the book seemed a bit slow, but the book took a weird turn and I was hooked. The "season" was so creepy, as with many other things with the ship. The freezing process at the beginning was disturbing and nothing like what they show in the movies.
I knew something was going on but I couldn't guess exactly what. The dual narration between Amy and Elder was done really well, it was a great way to reveal secrets or even trick you into thinking you have figured it all out and then expose a huge twist.
I am really glad I finally decided to read this, and if you're debating about whether to pick it up then I'm telling you to do it because you won't be disappointed.
