Well, I am on to my third book of the assignment. I think this is going to be my favorite. I am already 200 pages into it, and I got it last night. Hush, Hush is one of those books that could be boring, because it is long and we haven't figured out what is going on yet, even half way through the book, but it is the opposite of boring. It is riveting, a page turner. It takes place in my home state: Maine. I was excited to read a book where I could really imagine the surroundings. The main character is Nora. She is a high school student in Coldwater, Maine. (Is this a real place? I don't believe so...) In the first chapter, she is in biology class with her best friend Vee. They are going to start a new topic, sex. They get a new seating chart. Nora is assigned to sit next to a new boy. He is a transfer, never been to school before. He has black eyes. They have to do an assignment in which they studied each other and write an essay on the other person. His name is Patch. He is a sly, cool type of guy. He is brooding, attractive, mysterious. He is flirtatious. He fills his sentence structures with subtle innuendos. But the disturbing thing is, he just knows stuff about Nora. He knows about her school clubs, her beliefs, what colleges she wants to get into, and he just goes on about it, as if he is not talking about her, provoking her. He manages to guess everything about her, and gives off nothing about himself. He seems dangerous.
I believe this book is about angels. The cover is of an angel falling from the sky, and so far in the book there have been many angel references. I will tell you my predictions when I have blogged enough for them to make sense.
