For a book that I thought suffered from a slow start, this one really came together by the end. I was fascinated by amount of character growth that occurred even if it did seem artificially fast growth at times. You really can learn about astronomy as well. I like that Wendy Mass didn't soften the hardship of the experience but instead focused on learning to deal with change and learning to grow from accepting it. I felt bad for Ally, smugly satisfied that Bree was thrown out of her superficial comfort zone, encouraged and tormented for Jack, but hopeful for every one of them. That's the sign of a great job at character development. When a reader is drawn to a character even though they are flawed and unfairly burdened in some cases. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Ally, Bree, and Jack meet at the one place the Great Eclipse can be seen in totality, each carrying the burden of different personal problems, which become dim when compared to the task they embark upon and the friendship they find. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

One of the few things I disliked about the book was all the talk about watching weight. I recognize that the book was published in 2008 and diet culture was extremely rampant at time, and that it is potentially still accurate to how 13 year olds would think about weight and physical appearance, but it made me uncomfortable. I appreciate Bree's arc of becoming less vain and how Jack's exercise helped him feel more confident, but some of the comments made by the characters feel borderline fat phobic in this day.
Other than that i enjoyed the novel and think it is a great middle grade read. ( )
