Book Reviews of Someone Is Watching
Book Review: read it and u will love it
Summary: 5 Stars
"Someone is watching" is the first book I read by Roeder and there is something special about it which made me speechless, a secret can always eat you up but having an unknown person notice about a secret which even harder for the owner himself to handle. The story is mainly about Ethan the farm boy who was trying to overcome his sexuality, at the same time he is the top of the school wrestling team which make his "out" much even harder. After a long self denial of who he really was another hindrance came up to him immediately.
Roeder successfully created a breath taking novel which you never can expect what will happen next and you will just keep on reading it until the end of the page. At first I don't really like stories about boy overcoming their sexualities, however "Someone is watching" is much more different then those out there, you will bring yourself into the story and wanted to help Ethan and the others out. It was extremely relatable.
The main story line of the novel itself is really outstanding, however the friends around the Ethan seem to have a lot more to talk about, which you really wanted to know more about the others, like Nathan's life, and the best I like Mark and Taylor's, their stories helped the development of the whole novel, it helps to bring out the real emotions in you and made the story even richer. Roeder have a strong strength in creating side characters which have done an amazing work in supporting Ethan's story. They could possibly hold their own story itself and also made a successfully novel.
You will love the book once you hold it in your hand. trust me.
