Graffiti Moon Update!

Hey,

I haven't particularly been enjoying this weeks read but found it better then I thought it'd be.

I do find it the plot quite pointless?

I mean there's a girl, Lucy, looking for a painter, Shadow, who she thinks will love her and she'll love him even though she's never seen him.She's seen his paintings and was immdiatly drawn to a guy she's never seen in her life.

Then we find out about Ed, someone Lucy went out with for one day, but by the end of the date, she ended up breaking his nose and running back to her house leaving him in the gutter.

The surprising part of the book, which we find out RIGHT at the beginning, is that Ed is Shadow but Lucy isn't aware of this.

One thing I am enjoying so far is Leo's one page 'chapters'. He is in fact Poet who goes around with Shadow writing small poems next to each graffiti art Shadow majestically paints. In his 'chapters' Leo writes small poems which I really enjoy reading.

So what do you think so far?

Week 1: Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley

"Let me make it in time. Let me meet Shadow. The guy who paints in the dark. Paints birds trapped on brick walls and people lost in ghost forests. Paints guys with grass growing from their hearts and girls with buzzing lawn mowers." It’s the end of Year 12. Lucy’s looking for Shadow, the graffiti artist everyone talks about. His work is all over the city, but he is nowhere. Ed, the last guy she wants to see at the moment, says he knows where to find him. He takes Lucy on an all-night search to places where Shadow’s thoughts about heartbreak and escape echo around the city walls. But the one thing Lucy can’t see is the one thing that’s right before her eyes.

For this week I will be reading Graffiti Moon.

I'll be sharing updates while I read and if I'd like to share any interesting points about the book and anything I particularly enjoyed expect a new post!

This book doesn't seem like the typical book I'd enjoy as the whole book is centered around romance (something I hate) and find too cheesy. But I'm going to give it a try.

Expect a lot of books I'd never read but will read especially for Readarama including TUN TUN TUN...
TWILIGHT! the only reason I'm reading that is because I was dared to read it by a soppy twilight lover...
from school...in my class...

Anyway that's my first book for Readarama!!

Remember to join up to!
