Park as well - his judgmental ways, shallow traits - but I guess that’s what makes them “young.”īoth of them are so ‘weird’ that they became so normal to me, if you get what I mean. Majority of the book was bland but the latter chapters were exciting!Įleanor annoyed me a bit (her indecision, secrecy and self deprecation but mostly her passive attitude). I’m still crazy for the genre but only those along the lines of fantasy - more flavor there.Īnyway, my reading experience had both high and low moments. I read this last year and by that time, I was already past the point of indulging young adult contemporaries. You may be tired of hearing this same old excuse but it’s the only one I’ve got for Eleanor & Park: “It’s not you, it’s me”. By the 3-star rating, it would have been obvious but I just didn’t want any hurt feelings because I’m aware this book has amassed a great many lovers. I’m going to tell you upfront: I wasn’t impressed with this. MY REVIEW: 3 of 5 stars to Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell ★★★Īn apology is in order for fans of this book. Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds-smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.
There’s a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises…Park. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. Park… He knows she’ll love a song before he plays it for her. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough…Eleanor. Standing behind him until he turns his head. She looked like art, and art wasn’t supposed to look nice it was supposed to make you feel something.”Įleanor… Red hair, wrong clothes.
