Flawed

Product Information

I could have used a teeny bit more world-building, but I am hoping more will be revealed in the next book. Que tipo de convivência existirá no relacionamento familiar entre as várias gerações que a compõem?

Oh, and there's a love triangle. Between Celestine's childhood friend who is perfect and whom she adores above all others. He's known her for years. They were friends before lovers. He's wealthy, powerful, adoring. And they're in Twoo Wuv. I watch him, his mean, tough, bold face, and will him to look at me. I wonder what he has done. It can’t be a criminal act or he wouldn’t be here, but it must have been close. Whatever he has been accused of doing, I have no doubt that he has done it. I've learned that to be courageous is to feel fear within, every step of the way. Courage does not take over, it fights and struggles through every word you say and every step you take. It's a battle or a dance as to whether to let it pervade. It takes courage to overcome, but it takes extreme fear to be courageous.” On finishing this book I was lost for words, speechless. All I could think to say consisted of a string of inappropriate and incoherent expletives. My mind was blank. All I could think about was the next book, when it would come, what would happen. Uma leitura ideal para um dia de lazer, pois é uma tortura interrompê-la por um instante que seja!... I bite my lip as the tears stream. I think of little Ewan, how scared he would be, how I have bought such danger to my family.”WOW! Unglaublich, wie viele Leser dieses Buch gehypt haben, und zwar richtig gehypt. Jeder, wirklich jeder hat das Buch oder das Hörbuch in die Kamera gehalten - klar, da wurde auch ich neugierig. Da ich noch so viele Guthaben bei audible.de übrig hatte, dachte ich mir, ich lade mir die Geschichte einfach runter. Da ich inzwischen deutlich besser mit Hörbücher klar komme, brauche ich mir da keine Gedanken machen, ob mir die schriftliche oder die gelesene Version besser gefällt. Doch kann ich das erste Jugendbuch von Cecelia Ahern genau so loben, wie all die anderen? Das erfahrt ihr jetzt: I always thought of the Flawed as less than us, and I can't believe I have admitted that to myself. Celestine is a refreshing protagonist. For one, she happens to be mixed-race, which shouldn't be a big deal but which, in a world where young people of colour are shamefully under-represented in fiction, is important. And unlike some dystopian heroines, she is not a natural rebel or warrior. Like Jessika Keller, the teenage protagonist of Julie Mayhew's superb dystopian novel The Big Lie, Celestine is a "good girl". Academic, beautiful and just popular enough, she's always wanted to follow the rules, to avoid standing out.

Remember this.And she's just as boring and spiritless as that quote indicates. This book is dull, bland, and yet another prime example of failed YA dystopia. It was inoffensive, if you can call, a nonsensical dystopian future and a standard love triangle inoffensive, among its other faults. She gave birth to a beautiful girl named Robin with her partner David Keoghan in 2009. They were later secretly married in County Kildare with David on 11 June 2010. She later gave birth to a son Robin in 2013. It has a lot of the elements you see in a typical dystopian novel; a society governed by strict rules to keep people in line, yew-neek character names, a love triangle and a follow-the-rules teenager who suddenly becomes the poster girl for a revolution. a b c d Cecelia Ahern's Official Biography, archived from the original on 4 December 2007 , retrieved 31 December 2007 They are pushing for a more equal society, ridding it of the old Perfect versus Flawed mentality. The rebels have grabbed onto Celestine's story and are using her as a sort of figurehead for their movement.But then Celestine encounters a situation in which she makes an instinctive decision. Will she be branded as FLAWED? Will all her freedoms be gone?

Sweeney, Ken (26 March 2012). "Cecelia expecting summer baby". Irish Independent. Independent News & Media . Retrieved 26 March 2012. Her rights are stripped and life as she knows it is over. Her long-time boyfriend, Art Crevan, whose father just so happens to be the Judge that sentenced her, has disappeared. Mostra como coexistir pacificamente em sociedade preservando a nossa individualidade pode significar, nalguns casos, almejar a paz com gregos e troianos! I actually loved this book which I really didn't expect, when I first started reading it I wasn't sure about how it was written but the more I read then I understood the dialogue.

I like Juniper & Art, Cee has got a little taste how her sister feels every day under the eye of everyone judging her as they don't see her as perfect. Arts father is the head of this organisation which does the branding so you can imagine the hurt. Celestine North lives in such a society, she adheres to, understands and agrees with the rules. She is a poster girl for all that is right with this regime, but then, one day, she slips bringing down on her the weight of The Guild. She has always taken comfort in the rules, believed they kept her and everyone else safe, but now .... things are different. It has been a while since I have read anything by Cecelia Ahern, being her first foray into YA Dystopia I was interested too see how she would spin it. The ending made up for most of the book but I also felt the story kind of went nowhere. I'm unsure as to where or not I will continue.
