Title: Good teen read but lacks something
Product review: As others have written, Elsewhere is a wonderful book for young teens. It follows the life and death of Elizabeth Hall, a 15-year-old who finds herself in the afterlife after a fatal bike accident. Zevin is marvelous and creative, constructing a "death" that bears a strong resemblance to life on Earth. Her interpretation of reincarnation is very interesting and thought-provoking.My only criticism of the book would be the expression of emotions and character development. Many of the characters seemed to lack a unique personality, and their dialogue was sometimes dry. I wish the book might have been a bit longer, and provided further details. Overall, however, it was a pleasant read.
