It offers up a depth of emotion seldom seen in a genre often characterized by the superficial. Its unique premise effectively emphasizes how we are all similiar despite are differences, and examines love in such a way that will leave even the most jaded reader with plenty to think about and remember.View information about Bear Tours Day Tripshttp://www.alaskabearviewing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-31550797651182099522013-02-25T19:23:52.614-06:002013-02-25T19:23:52.614-06:00I didn't know about the Six Days novella! I...I didn't know about the Six Days novella! I'll have to pick that one up. I loved Every Day. I'm slowly building my collection of Levithan's books but still don't have the Lover's Dictionary, yet. Waiting for the right price!<br /><br />I didn't mind not knowing how A came into existence, the circumstances of how he was who or what he was. To me that just wasn't the point. Levithan's ability to create a being that had no prejudices was the point to me. And the fact that so far he hadn't met anyone that could feel the same was also the point. I'd like to be that person, but I'm sure I have prejudices. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-3420302936960974402013-02-20T23:13:55.581-06:002013-02-20T23:13:55.581-06:00I've seen praise for Every Day and it really d...I've seen praise for Every Day and it really does sound like a thought provoking novel. I'm hoping I'll be able to read it soon.

This perfectly describes my feelings about what Levithan was doing with the ending! I loved this book so much, though I also wondered why he fell so hard for Rhiannon. <br /><br />I really want to read Six Earlier Days. I need to download it.

This sounds like one that really makes you think and question while you're reading, and I LOVE books like that:) In this context, I don't think I'd be all that concerned about how A came to be, like you said, knowing that information is vital to the story itself.

I have heard so many amazing things about this book and I am happy to see you enjoyed it as well. I know I penciled it in somewhere soon.
