Eleanor and Park Review



Rating: 4/5

I picked this book up due to the fact I love Rainbow Rowell's books and how she writes her novels. This one was good but not good enough to give it a five star rating. I like the premise and how the story flowed but some elements I did not like.
          First off, the plot. I liked the plot and how the story unfolded. The plot made it hard to put down. I had to know what happened to Eleanor and Park. Some parts were slow but it was a very easy read. 
               The characters: Eleanor is such a well written character. I loved how she was her own person and did not care what people said about her. I sympathized with her and wished she had better life than what she had. Park is a great character also he was a great person. He complimented Eleanor so well. I love the fact he also did not care about what people said about him.
         The reason I rated it four was for certain parts of the novel I cannot go into without spoilers. Some parts of the novel were uncomfortable to read for me personally and that caused me to lower the rating. I loved the novel overall and as always Rainbow Rowell's writing. A must read book and one I was happy I read.
