Title: Flawed, yet fascinating
Product review: I won't lie-this book kept me glued to my seat until I had read every single word. The land of Elsewhere drew me in and wouldn't let go.This book has a very unique idea which sounds gimmicky, but definitely isn't. Somehow, the fantasy seems realistic.However, the writing (though engaging) does not challenge you or keep you guessing. It is fairly simple. This might be better than challenging writing, because the idea is so complex that complex writing might be overwhelming. But the simple writing gets worse towards the end and there are no cliffhangers. It takes no chances.Also, you can't really identify with the main character very much. Liz reflects what many of us would do in her situation, but she is not likable and you can't feel very sorry for her.Even though the writing is a little flawed and characters needed to be worked on, this book is able to rise above that. Elsewhere is definitely recommended for those who are tired of the pathetic teen novels.
