Flawed by Cecelia Ahern - Book Review & Giveaway
book review and book recommendation
I am m flawed. I know this isn't where they put it,
but I feel like this wouldn't last as long. I just finished, like literally
moments ago, reading Flawed by Cecelia Ahern. Apologies if I'm not pronouncing
your name correctly.
Flawed was really good. Now full disclosure, I did receive
this book for free in exchange for a review, through the LovinDemBooks
booktour. I did another one of these previously and I'll link that in the
cards and the description below. You know, I-I picked these books that I
want to review based on the description and if it's the type of book that I like
and this, of course, is what I'm assuming is the first of a trilogy, an eventual
trilogy-dystopian-teen-girl-protagonist- story...
And I like those, I think those
are fun and this one was really good. I really can get behind a lot of what this
book is about and I think it's-it's cool that it's not the technology of the
world that is what is causing all the problems it's the people. So Flawed takes
place in a version of the world where there is a committee called The Guild
who is responsible for policing people's moral behaviour. Now they're not the
government, they're not laws, they're just basically judging people based on their
actions and if they are seen to be imperfect or flawed then they basically
become a second class citizen and they get branded.
Actually branded with hot
searing iron. Bad judgment is considered flawed and they have these courts and their useally almost always considered flawed and then they have to wear an armband, a red
armband indicating their flawed. And basically they just have to live, like
a basic life. They say it's not as bad as being in prison but in a way it's almost
worse because they're living amongst the rest of the world yet they don't have
any privileges they don't have any rights
almost and that's really interesting because it's definitely something that
you can think of in a way of society today.
Discrimination, equal rights, things
like that. Which is why I think this book is really really interesting. I tore
through this book. I wasn't convinced at the very beginning.
You know I thought: "okay this is, I know what this is" but it got really really good. Another thing that's very important to
know about this book is that the main character is multiracial and there's
also a gay character, like mentioned, like it it's not a part of their whole flawed
system, and that was really refreshing. Also this book's very beautiful, I mean
look at this dust cover it's one of these like clear things like I'm afraid
I'm gonna tear it. And then the main character, Celestine, she's about to turn
18, so it is that teenage female changing the world scenario we've all read...But I
love that story! I'm never gonna get sick of that being
the tale.
And people joke that oh it's always a teenage girl that saves the
world. Well these books, these books are written for teenagers, they're written
for young people and of course they should be made to believe that they can
change the world and they can stand up for what they believe in. And I think that's
just so great. I'm really excited to read more about Celestine, I'm going to definitely be looking for the other books in this series because it definitely ends at a
cliffhanger and I have to find out what happens to her! Now, for the fun part, when we spoil some stuff.
Forward till this is gone if you don't want spoilers. First
I wanna talk about Juniper, her slightly older sister, who I feel like I can
relate to a lot. She's very defensive, quiet kind of, you
know angry-ish person. She kinda reminds me of me in high school.
I'd be really curious to
see what my sister thinks of this book. It's no fun to have a book about teenagers
without some sort of romance. I love how it was really like, it wasn't the main
focus at all. It was a very very small part of the story, her boyfriend and
that whole drama and the whole drama with her boyfriend and her sister.
It was there and the reactions made sense based on, you know, their ages.
I think that that the honesty of that is okay, but like it wasn't the main focus. I
also love that she's all about logic and what makes sense and what is true. I can
relate to that a little bit, I'm a bit of a neurotic person sometimes. The police are here to protect, their not here to enforce the rules of the guild.
The rules of the guild are not laws. You know, and I love that whole scene at the end when she,
basically she's not standing up for anything, she's not making a statement,
she's not trying to start a riot. She's literally just being logical and being
like, this is what you do this is what we were taught that what you do, why aren't
you doing what we're taught that what you do? What you're doing right now that
doesn't make sense it's not logical, like what is going on here? And then
everyone else is just like, she's just so brave! Celestine, you're a symbol of the
revolution! There's currently a giveaway happening
right now for Flawed. If you'd like to win this book, check the link in the
description! There's also a link to where you can purchase the book and the social
media accounts for the author! Go check it out it's super great! You gotta read this book! Thank you so
much for watching, thank you to Grace from LovinDemBooks booktube tours
for letting me review this book, and thanks to the author as well because I
really enjoyed it.
I hope to read the rest of the series when they're out. I
have other book reviews if you'd like to watch them or other booktube-esque videos,
reading wrap-up, tags, the whole lot. Go check those out if you'd like. I'll see
here next week at MagicCatJenny.
