come, if it comes at all, at a bizarre and terrible price

Review:
This is not a light
read. In fact it’s a flippin' heavy one. But it’s beautifully written and I think
this book impacts a person. I personally couldn’t relate to it much, but even
so, I couldn’t put it down. Even though the plot itself isn’t the least bit
funny, I would still burst out laughing because of the dialogue sometimes. (In
the middle of a quiet class. Yeah, not so funny.)
The writing style is
beautiful, alternating between flashbacks and present day creating this balance
between light and heavy. There’s some MAJOR character development in this and
it was a new experience for me to read from Shiv’s perspective. Never Ending has this continuing
mystery: “What did she do to her brother?” And I found myself continuing to
read even though there wasn’t any paranormal love triangle or lighthearted
romance.
It brings a lot of things into perspective and I think this book could
really help some people. I loved watching Shiv at the clinic and I really felt
for her. I really don’t have much else to say besides the fact the this is a really good book. The
beginning is a touch slow (not that much but still a touch) but you need some
background for the story. Everyone should read this book. Even if it’s just to
understand some people, it’s worth it.
