Struck by Jennifer Bosworth
Whenever
I go to chapters I take a stroll past the bargain books, sometimes I find my
next favourite author next favourite series. This time I went and
saw the book Struck by Jennifer Bosworth, when it came out and I read the
synopsis I was immediately hooked and wanted to buy it but by the time I was
unable to go to a chapters, then I had long forgotten about buying it,
but that day I saw it on the bargain books shelf I picked it up forgetting that
I had wanted to read it, as I was reading the inside cover I was hooked and proceeded
to go to the cash to buy it.
Set
in post apocalyptic Los Angeles, Mia Price is a lightning addict and she has
survived each time she has been struck but with each strike she becomes more
addicted to the power of storms and crave their energy to become connected with
them once again. But lurking in the cracks of a broken up L.A there is a power
struggle between the prophet and his followers and the seekers who are lead by
Mia's Highschool teacher. Little does Mia know about her destiny and
why she’s attracted to lightning storms and also the underground war
that is happening between the Prophet and his followers and the Seekers? Each
side wants Mia but will she choose whom she settles her loyalties with or will
she go her own way and chose her love for her family over the fate of L.A?
When
I first started reading Struck I found Mia to be really annoying when she
described what she did daily but as I got deeper into the book I understand why
her day was so detailed. Each time I turned the page I started reading faster
and before I knew it was hallway through the book. Currently I am still reading
it and I love how L.A is described because it had been destroyed by a very
powerful earthquake, when we talk about L.A in todays time we see it has a city
that is filled with bright lights and huge buildings and beautiful buildings
but in the book L.A has been destroyed, many of the towers and roads have been
broken do to the shifting of the earths plates. At 9:07 tonight I finished
Struck, As I passed the halfway point which lead me to finishing it I found the
religion aspect of the book to become more dominate towards the end which I
didn't like because I wanted to find out what would happen to the main
character Mia and her final decision but after finishing it I found that the
religion did play a key role in helping Mia realize her destiny and save L.A.
In the end I think Struck was very well placed, the characters were very
believable because there are things we want to hide from the people around us
and different religions and beliefs surround us all the time and also the fate
of the world, I was also shocked to find out that Jeremy was the Prophets son
but I kind of had a feeling that he was but was not sure but when I did read
that part I was defiantly shocked! In this book Jennifer Bosworth has made me realize
that no matter what we try to do we can't hide from our true natures and our
true selves without becoming lost in a lie, at one point in Struck the prophet
brainwashed Mia and taking away her scars (that she had gotten each time
she had been struck by lightning) and having her believe that she has her
mother back and that she has the perfect life, but all of that was a lie she is
then woken up from the dream from and the help from her now boyfriend Jeremy
and also her old self the one that had been buried when the prophet had
brainwashed her. In other words if you want to read a book with a strong female
lead read this book because this main character doesn't need to rely on anyone
to come out on top and also changes her fate.
