Throughout writing this blog, I have realized something: each book is very unique from another and that is what makes reading them so wonderful. Because of this, I have decided that I am going to try out a new reviewing format. Each books is unique, so I do not think the reviews should be so structured. Let me know in the comments if you like this format or if I should continue with how I was writing reviews before. Thanks for reading my blog!
General Analysis
General Analysis
Book Title: Everwild (second book of the Skinjacker Trilogy)
Author: Neal Shusterman
Publish Date: November 1, 2009
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal Fantasy
Plot: The Chocolate Ogre wants to help those that are stuck in Everlost reach their light. Mary Hightower wants the population of Everlost to grow, not get smaller as the children in Everlost reach the light at the end of the tunnel. Allie the Outcast continues to desire to travel to her home and find out what happened to her parents the day that she died. Each meet exciting adventures along their way. Will these three meet up again, or will they live in separate areas of Everlost?
Overall Thoughts: I absolutely LOVED this book. Neal Shusterman never ceases to amaze me with the originality that he puts into each one of his books. The story was full of plot twists. In this book, we really get to know the characters that we have come to love from Everlost and learn to love them even more than we did before.
In Depth Analysis
Neal Shusterman is one of my favorite authors. He really knows how to include action and suspense throughout his novels. His characters are always changing (sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst). In Everwild, Shusterman really develops the personalities that we began to love in Everlost. We really get to know each character. Although the book is written in third person, Shusterman allows the reader a glimpse into the thoughts of each character which really connects the reader to the book.
Even though I felt like I knew each character in the book, the characters contuinually did things that I did not expect. This novel is filled with a lot of plot twists that Shusterman introduced oh so well. The action and suspense were really bumped up in this novel, and it ended up being a much better novel than Everlost. If this novel was a recipe, I would say it included a hand full of of action, a pot full of suspense, and the perfect amount of romance. Everwild ended in a cliff hanger and I cannot wait to read the next novel in this amazing trilogy, Everfound.

Final Statements
Recommended Reading Age: I would recommend this book to ages 12+. The novel is a little bit dark.
Overall Rating: 5/5
Future Reviews and Reads
Of course, I cannot wait to read Everfound, but I am not sure when I can get my hands on a copy of it. I do not think that my library has a copy of this book.
