My personal Jodi Piccoult novel is Leaving Time. I was amazed at the amount of research which must have preceded her writing and touched by her empathetic understanding of the emotional heart of the African Elephant. I left Africa when I was 38 and the book made me long to go home. One can leave Africa, but she never leaves you and constantly calls you home. A Spark of Light was barely readable in my opinion.
I just read this, barely. I absolutely hated the timeline running backwards. Started at 5 pm I think, and each succeeding chapter was an hour earlier. Very confusing. The subject matter was interesting enough, abortion and laws governing it, but the format made me dislike the book. Your email address will not be published. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. One of the characters in the book is named Oliver. He is a prince and has all of the positive qualities that a prince should have.
He has a deep love of adventure and is always bold and brave in his travels. He is the type of person that you should like to turn to if you are need in of help, and this prince would always assist you. Beyond his brave qualities, this prince also happens to be very loving. Delilah does not just feel that Oliver speaks to her— she knows it to be true. He really does talk to her, and one day he speaks to Delilah with an actual voice.
This prince actually is way more than the character stuck in one dimension like he is supposed to be. Even though he seems to be royalty, he is actually just in his teenage years and quite young still.
The teen is somewhat restless, and Oliver thinks that his literary life is trapping him. Essentially he is aware that his entire existence is going to be set ahead of time, and nothing that he can do can help him to avoid his fate.
The prince thinks that there is more to life out in reality and the world than there is on the pages. She may be willing to help him, but who knows whether they will actually be able to free Oliver in the end. Will the prince be able to escape from his paper life on the page and get something close to a truly free existence? Or is it simply too far beyond his reach? Find out in this totally unique and charming novel that channels the fantastical world of the fairy tale and puts an entirely modern twist on it!
Off the Page is the second novel in the series written by these two lauded authors of fiction. If you loved the adventures contained in the debut book, then check out this second installment and find out what happens with Oliver and Delilah in this sequel!
Romance meets humor and more in this young adult novel that anyone can read. When we last left human being Delilah and paper prince Oliver, they were meeting for the first time and attempting to try and spring the character into a new reality and away from his predestined life.
Going through all of that together only brought them closer. No one would ever believe that the two of them would be able to date or be together as a romantic couple. Now they are actually involved on that level and it is really nice, even if it does appear to defy the odds of reality a little bit. Delilah and her prince are adjusting to not only being a couple but the chance that having the typical fairy tale ending really could happen for them. The two are cautiously optimistic.
But in the middle of thinking the glass is half full, they get a message that is pretty clear from the universe. It basically says that writing their own story is not going to happen.
