Book Review: Its Impossible Not to Look Back On This Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Dont Look Behind You, by Lois Duncan you was a great book. Not only did I read this book in one day, but I did not put it down once. This book is about a seventeen-year-old girl named April Corrigan who had a perfect life until her under-cover FBI agent father was almost shot and was threatened to be killed. Now the family has to go into hiding at a Federal Witness Unit Program, so that they are safe, and her life is ruined. She cant communicate with her old friends and her past will have to put behind her and she is told not to look back. Lois Duncan's style of writing is definitely unique. He always finished a chapter with a clever and intriguing sentence. It was impossible to put the book down, because of the crazy occurrences that one would see through out this book. The way this book is written makes you feel like the character is your best friend, as though you know them so well...you could read them like a book. Lois Duncan made sure to clearly show what April's life was like before the tragic change. So that when you compared her old life, with her new one you could surly see why April was so deeply affected, this made you get to know the character better. April always said what she thought, making her personality very obvious, she was clever and smart but always stood by what she believe in. I could definitely feel as though I was a part of this controversy, like I was there watching the whole book come to real life. The plot was very believable, all the things Mr. Duncan wrote about were believable yet rare. It was hard to know to know so much about FBI agents and their conditions. Its also very hard to know what it feels like having to erase your past, but the author makes it very clear, so its fascinating to hear about. He made you see that life could be perfect one day, and horrible the next. That reality was much scarier then April had known it would be at first, and that people usually don't know what they have until its gone in life. He made this very clear because he showed how hard the change was for April, and how much she missed the past. It was very important that this book was realistic. It gave you chills because you knew that this could happen one day, and because it could happen when you least expect it. Reality is what made this book so exciting, and so wild. The title, Dont Look Behind You, is the perfect title for this book. The title was what had me so interested in it, in the first place! Its a wonderful title for a wonderful book.
