Favourite book title
Nevermore by James Patterson
I like this title because it is ambiguous enough to intrigue the reader, but simplistic enough to let everyone know that something bad is going to happen. As a word, ‘nevermore’ means to have an end to something. The word, I think, is a joining of two phrases ‘never again’ and ‘no more’, which is very poignant considering the details of the plot line of the series. Also, I do love one word titles. They’re so dramatic, especially when the cover (and blurb, to be honest) don’t give much away. In addition, as it is the final book of the Maximum Ride series, it has a sense of finality.
The series, for those who are wondering, is about group of teenagers who are 98% human and 2% bird. As such, they have wings – and a few other genetic mutations that don’t become apparent until later on in the series, so I won’t spoil them for you. Safe to say, at this point in the series they’ve all gone through a lot, and the end has finally arrived.
Dun dun duuuuun!
Sorry, that got a little dark there, but it is a good book and I would highly recommend it. It is a bit dark at times, but also light hearted. For example, in one book it goes into detail about the scientists running tests on a small girl not dissimilar to those performed on rats, but in the following book they go to Walt Disney World, Florida. Extreme ends of the spectrum, but good none the less. The first is The Angel Experiment.
