When
I first started reading “Dear Daughter,” I thought
it was already boring. It wasn't until chapter 3 that I really
started liking the main character “Janie” and
getting into the story. I really liked how “Janie”
was a smart-ass and didn't take crap from people. There were
times when I was reading that I would actually laugh out loud
and my husband would look at me strange. I really got interested
in the plot of the story and I couldn't wait to find out if
and when “Janie” would find out the mystery of
what was happening. I kept thinking I knew what was going
to happen, but I found out I was wrong until the very end.
Although “Janie” was a smart-ass and acted like
things didn't get to her I could feel the pain and sadness
she was hiding inside. I felt like if she could only trust
at least one person then she wouldn't be so standoffish. I
think the different personalities of the characters in “Dear
Daughter” really worked well together. With “Janie”
she was a “poor little rich girl” who ended serving
time and prison, but she was still a smart-ass, “Noah”
was more of a follower and did everything “Janie”
said to do, and “Janie’s” friends seemed
to be followers as well but they acted like the deserved everything
in sight.
I think
that Elizabeth Little did a wonderful job writing this book.
She was very descriptive and I love the way she made the reader
keep guessing until the very end. I think her novels will
always be able to leave the reader wanting more and to keep
guessing what will happen next; especially if she keeps writing
the way she did with this book. I really liked the way this
book didn't just have chapters, it had little sections as
well it had sections where there were newspaper articles and
other little sections described people and/or places. I love
that Ms. Little put the book together differently than most
books are.
