Shatter Me Book Review- Spoiler warning!

Emma here! I finished Shatter me a couple of days ago, and now it's time for a review of it! Shatter me was by far one of the best books I have ever read. and I mean seriously. It was so well written, composed and unique in it's way. There were beautiful metaphors and sentences worth to quote on every single page. So let's get into the story.

Shatter me is a about a girl named Juliette. She's 17 years old, and has suffered from a curse since the day she was born. Her touch is lethal. 264 days she's been held captive in a dark cell, all alone. Until one day, when she gets a new cellmate. Adam is gorgeous, and he treats her like she's human, and not a monster. But is he really who he claims to be? All her life Juliette has longed for someone to love her, but can someone love a person they cannot touch? The world that Juliette lives in is destroyed. There's not much food left, and people die on the streets everyday. The climate is unstable, and the government has been taken over by The Reestablishment. They came with promises to provide everyone with homes and food, but it runs out that the new government is corrupt. So Juliette is constantly torn between wanting to get out of her cell, and afraid of what she might find outside. Does she really want to see the world out there? Or is it finally better in her cell? 

Anyway, one day Juliette and Adam gets company. Guards invade their cell, and they get taken somewhere. Juliette then wakes up in a big mansion, which is owned by a guy named Warner. He is only 19, so quite young, but he has so much power that he seems older. But despite Warner's handsome appearance and striking blue eyes, there's something about him that's... off. Juliette soon finds out that he's a cold blooded murderer, and he wants her to be his torturing devise against the opposers to The Reestablishment. But the worst part is that Adam works for him. Adam, who Juliette fell in love with the second she saw him. While Warner tries to convince Juliette in the most cruel ways that she too is a murderer and a weapon, Adam is appointed the task of watching over her. It turns out that he's only there for her, and Juliette also finds out that he can touch her. Someone in the world can finally touch her. 
One slight problem is that Warner seems to have formed an obsession with Juliette. He's with her at all times, constantly being to be seductive and claiming her as his own. Since there are cameras in Juliette's Room, she and Adam have to keep their relationship secret. 

Now, I don't want to spoil everything for you. I thought that this books was exciting all the time, except for in the beginning, when it was quite slow to get into. I don't have many things to complain about, but there are a few. Firstly, everything was quite obvious. I mean I knew right from the start that Juliette and Adam would fall in love with each other. I also knew that he must've been a traitor, because it seemed to good to be true that he was there with her in her cell. Then, it was obvious that Warner would get obsessed with Juliette by the way he was acting from the first time he met her. These things that were meant as cliffhangers weren't very surprising. But that is just a minor fault. 
The other one was that it was quite difficultly written as some times. I love that it's written from Juliette's perspective, and it's not surprising that she's on the brink of madness in the beginning of the book. But there are sentences that she thinks in her mind, but it's not that obvious that she's thinking them, and some sentences are crossed over or end without a punctuation. This could be considered as a uniqueness and beauty of the book, which I thought too in the beginning. However, after a while it only got irritating as I was reading. 

But these negative things are nothing compared to the good things about the book. There was so much feeling in it that I had to put down the book occasionally to breathe, almost as if Tahereh poured her soul into it. I don't know if the author herself has experienced the kind of loneliness that Juliette does, but it certainly seems like it. I got so incredibly sad at times when Juliette was lonely and doubted herself, but oh so happy when she and Adam had cute moments. Oh by the way, there were reaaaaaalllllyyy hot moments in this book, I can tell you ;) I was like whhhoooaaa calm down peeps. While were talking about this; OH MY DEAR GOD ADAM. Adam, Adam, Adam. He's just perfect in such an imperfect way, you know? He's got faults, but also amazing traits and he is described as completely gorgeous too. I need to read the rest of the trilogy now, but I haven't bought the two books remaining yet. They're called Unravel Me and Ignite Me, and then there's a sequel series called Destroy Me (Written from Warner's point of view) and Fracture Me (From Adam's point of view) which I need to read to. 

I highly recommend this books, and I'd give it a 9/10, because of the same reason as Filippa. I'm saving my ten for something amazing, even more amazing than this book. But seriously, READ IT! Especially you Filippa, 'cause I need someone to fangirl with. Now.
