Book Reviews of Elsewhere
Book Review: Elsewhere
Summary: 5 Stars
The book, "Elsewhere," by Gabrielle Zevin, was excellent. I loved the idea of making a book where as time goes on, you go backwards. I thought the book was very creative and quite interesting. I thought the Well was a good idea, and the way the babies go back to Earth was very original. The author uses small clues to relate to things in real life and things that have to do with the place, Elsewhere. The idea of dying, going to Elsewhere, living what seems like an ordinary life, aging backwards, and being floated back to Earth to be born again, is a very different and creative way of looking at what will happen when you die. I felt everything was explained well using great detail. By the end of the book, I felt like I personally knew every character, and I had been the one living in Elsewhere. I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down. ADSBook Review: Elsewhere

Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the BEST BOOK EVER!!! Once I looked at the synopsis, (or the quotes, there wasn't really a synopsis) I decided to pick it up and buy it. It seemed interesting, but I wasn't expecting it to me a total phenonmenon. Four of my friends read the book, and we all agreed that this book was the most creative, well- written, book ever to hit the earth. It full with a little bit of everything. I promise that you will not be wasting your money!Book Review: Elsewhere- definitely not nowhere
Summary: 4 Stars
When sixteen year old, Liz, finds herself on a cruise ship headed for who-knows-where, it takes her a bit of time to realize that she's dead. When the ship docks, Liz quickly learns that she is in "Elsewhere," the unlikely final destination for the deceased.
Elsewhere looks a lot like any other place; there are streets filled with cars and people who go to and from "work" on a daily basis. But Elsewhere isn't like any other place, for one big reason: instead of getting older with every year that passes, inhabitants of Elsewhere, every year, get younger.
Although Liz comes to terms with her sudden death, she takes for granted the fact that, despite initial appearances, her new life is filled with possibility and promise. When Liz finally learns that, in reality, "any life is one worth living," her own time in Elsewhere is also coming to an end.
Elsewhere is a great life and death story, with a fresh, fascinating twist to the forever-old question, "what happens to us when we die?"

Summary: 5 Stars
Is an amazing, amazing book. It captivates you in to this unbelievable world that the characters are living in.
I recommend it to all teens, or even some adults.
Simple enough.
