Neverworld Wake by “Marisha Pessl” is a science fiction, but it more looks like a fantasy tale, mystery suspense and a riddle finder.
About the Story:
The story whirls around Beatrice and her six best friends who gets separated after the sudden death of Jim (Beatrice boyfriend). Later Bea was invited by her friend Whitley for a party in Wincroft, which she accepts after a long dilemma.
While returning from the party, the six friends including Bea met with an accident and enters the “Neverworld”. Then a mysterious man explains about the happenings and asks them to vote for one among them for survival, while others remain dead.
Is the Neverworld is a joke or real? Are they dreaming about the Neverworld? Is Jim’s death being an accident or murder? Will they find the secret of this happenings? Who will survive this tragedy? Lies the suspense of the story.
About the book:
The author has sprinkled her imagination of a world that never exist, which is an exemplary attempt to draw readers attention.
What if we struck in an unknown world and can’t predict what will happen next, it will bring apprehensive flow through our spine. I really felt the jolts of avidness while reading this novel.
I liked Beatrice as she was true and dedicated to her love, friends and parents. Yet she had some hidden secrets that was never revealed to anyone except Martha. Martha had a secret affection towards Bea which she never disclosed to anyone. The attempts she made to save Bea was touching.
Everyone makes mistakes in their life but identifying it and realizing the mistake is a good thing in life. Here the connection between Jim’s death and their life struck in Neverworld is two different paths clubbed together to give a life for the story.
The adventures they undergo in finding the truth for Jim’s death, realizing their own mistakes and time travelling stuffs were enjoyable.
I would rate 4/5 for this avid novel.
