You by Charles Benoit

My Rating: 2 stars

This review is definitely going to be difficult to write, because I really didn’t get that far into the book and it was really, really confusing. Okay, so first off, this book is written in second person (hence the title “You”). I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that was completely second person, and I definitely give Charles Benoit props for that because that couldn’t have been easy. But, I don’t know, it didn’t really do much for me. It was kind of hard to follow along and lost my interest easily. I think I just barely read 100 pages and not much happed. The description of the book didn’t tell much about the plot and I was really unsure of where the whole book was going. I guess it’s one of those books that you have to read all the way through to understand, and most of my favorite books are like that, but I couldn’t continue on with this one. “You” had gotten a lot of good reviews from other authors and readers, it just didn’t click for me. Maybe one day I’ll go back and read it again.
