It's well worth remembering that just because you knew someone years ago, it doesn't mean they are still the same person today.Review:25 Random Facts was a gorgeously written piece of literature. But I have to be honest, and say that it really didn't do anything for me emotionally. Simply put, I lacked a connection to this book. It's been happening to me a lot lately. And I can't help but wonder if it's my fault. Either way, I have to write the review the way I feel, and that's what happened.It was just missing something. The plot was definitely interesting, but left me feeling confused. I didn't know how I was supposed to feel, who I was supposed to be mad at, and I just felt kind of lost. Not necessarily a bad thing, it just isn't what I hope to get out of something I am reading.I liked the idea of the plot, I just didn't find it suspenseful. I was expecting a thriller and it was more of a character study. The one thing I did enjoy was Claire's character. I thought the actions that she took were interesting and I often wondered how I would react in the same situation. What would I have done if I had watched that helicopter crash in front of me? Would I have done the same things? Hard to say, but something to think about.Ultimately, it was an interesting read. I think the author had some great ideas, but my personal opinion is that the execution was a little off. But. I am definitely interested to see what she comes up with next, because like I said, her writing is absolutely fantastic. Beautiful prose.
