Synopsis from Goodreads:
A love out of time. A spaceship built of secrets and
murder.
Seventeen-year-old Amy joins
her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to
awaken on a new planet, three hundred years in the future. Never could she have
known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and
that she would be thrust into the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by
its own rules.
Amy quickly realizes that her
awakening was no mere computer malfunction. Someone - one of the few thousand
inhabitants of the spaceship - tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn't do
something soon, her parents will be next.
Now Amy must race to unlock
Godspeed's hidden secrets. But out of her list of murder suspects, there's only
one who matters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could
never have seen coming.
What I thought:
First and foremost, this book was pretty
awesome. I was not expecting to love
this book as much as I did. My favorite
part about this book is that it kept me on my toes as to what was going to happen
next. Throughout the book there were so
many unexpected turns that blew my mind and only made the book more addicting.
I have
many things that I enjoyed throughout this book starting off with my favorite
character. My favorite character would
have to be Harley. I loved how
compassionate and artistic he was.
Another thing that I enjoyed about this book was its special type of
curse words. (Yes, I know that sounds
weird and kind of morbid of me to say.)
The words such as “frexing” and “shite” were used quite often throughout
the book and I enjoyed them because you really got a feel for the characters’
attitude and the culture they were raised upon on their ship, Godspeed.
I also loved the dynamic relationship that each character had with
one another.
I enjoyed how the author put tiny details throughout the
book that were cleverly tied in together at the end. I am not going to give anything away but once
you read it you will understand! I highly recommend it!
Final verdict: I give Across the Universe an 8 out of 10.
