Review: Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
Hi readers:
SYNOPSIS:
Two misfits.
One extraordinary love.
Eleanor...
One extraordinary love.
Eleanor...
Red hair, wrong
clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he
wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good
enough...Eleanor.
Park...
Park...
He knows she'll love a
song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to
the punch line. There's a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes
her want to keep promises...Park.
Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.

CRITICISM:
Eleanor and
Park was incredible, I felt so connected with the characters that each time
that Eleanor felt sad i was feeling sad as well. I just finished reading
Fangirl the other book of Rainbow Rowell and i realized that Rainbow Rowell is
one of those writers know how teens feel; know how to make fall in love with
the characters. For me Eleanor and Park was a very real story, i truly believe
that everything the characters suffer and feel, may happen to us.
Eleanor is a girl with very low self-esteem,
she believes that she doesn´t deserves to be loved and all the time thinks that
people see her as a work of charity rather than a real person, and I think that
the topic to talk about in this book happens so much in our society and I
mention this because I have suffered from the same thing, as a teenager we
begin to look at our own shortcomings and not our qualities and sometimes we
fell apart ; we feel ugly and misunderstood, because I´ve felt this way same
because of the comments people say ,we
let the words of others get to our self-esteem and we don´t have to let
that happen. We shouldn't be afraid to show who we really are, we are all
different, and we are all crazy and no matter what the other people say.
That is the
moral of this book, we are all unique and we are all beautiful in our own way,
it does not really matter the physical, nor the manner of how we dress, the
only thing that matters is what we show from inside-out.
I am grateful to
Rainbow Rowell for saying that been
different from others, doesn’t makes us less or more than them, it makes us
equal
