Review: Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta

jellicoe

If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would. It was absolutely brilliant, a remarkable story about loss, grief, redemption, and love. It is a beautifully told story, and is surprisingly funny at times given some of the darker subject matter. A couple of great love stories in here as well. I rarely get emotional when I read books, but I was crying like a baby at the end, it was so moving.

A must read that I am recommending to everyone I know.

I've seen several comments about it starting off slow, but I did not find that. Maybe compared to other YA it is not as action packed at first, not sure. It definitely has a more literary done than most YA out there.
