Gorgeous by Paul Rudnick

    This week I read Gorgeous by Paul Rudnick. I always read the last page first but none of the pages before so that I have more insight on what happens and I can see if it is a sad book but at the same time I still don’t know exactly what happens in the end and I still have to try and figure it out. What made me choose the book was that the whole summary about the book was about how she wore 3 dresses and they made her beautiful and how she had to go though her new life while knowing that it was all fake but still acting like it wasn’t. Something that surprised me was that most of the characters are actually dead and no one knows who let them stay on Earth and the end of the book is when they tell you that all of the characters are actually dead but that they will never know how or who put them there.
    I had stopped reading for a while because I just wasn’t interested in any books anymore and every time I would start to read I would just stop on the 2nd chapter. After reading this book I have found my interest in reading again. I think the reason why I didn’t want to read anymore was because I had stopped reading the last page and I was always afraid that the ending would disappoint me by being sad or just ending without having a sequel so I just decided it would better to just not read so I wouldn’t be disappointed. This book was an exceptional book because at Paul Rudnick was able to relate to everyday life while also putting mystery and fiction into the book so you never knew what was going to happen next which is what made me decide to start reading again.

  2. This book sounds really interesting but its confusing me. Is everyone on Earth dead or just this little community of people? Also, what was the significance of the three dresses? I strongly recommend not reading the last page of mystery books. When my class was reading And Then There Were None last year, I read the last few pages and it ruined the whole book for me.

  3. That sounds like a very interesting book, but I don't think I'll read it. I also agree with Emelia, reading the last page first could spoil most books.
