Dawn by Kevin Brooks
2.0
I hate to be so critical but I don't think there was a single thing I liked about Dawn. I really can't think of one thing right now. It just wasn't a book for me, I guess.
Dawn is the story of a fifteen-year-old girl named Dawn Bundy. She lives with her mother because her father disappeared over two years ago. Ever since then Dawn just hangs out by herself or with her two dogs, Jesus and Mary. She doesn't know why her dad disappeared but she does know that he wasn't the same dad anymore and that it was God's fault. So she decides to kill God.
Well, I can tell you right now that that kind of turned me off the book. I'm not into reading about religion and this one had quite a bit of it, even if it was just her reasons why she was against it. I didn't see how thsi was linked to the plot.
Another thing I couldn't get past was Dawn. She didn't have a personality and I couldn't bring myself to like her. She didn't try to make friends or change the situation she was in. She accepted that that was how things were going to be and lived like that.
The plot was pretty much non-existent until the very end of the book. Dawn just went about her life until at the end of the book something actually happened. I didn't like what happened or the way the book ended. It was weird.
Overall, Dawn is not something I would recommend. It wasn't very well written and it was disturbing to me. I hope Kevin Brooks other books are better than this one.
