All Fall Down Book Review

All Fall Down - Ally Carter

This is a book that I feel like has a lot more potential then what it is. It's not a boring book. I didn't hate it. But, I didn't love it either. I probably won't remember much about it this time next year and don't plan on continuing the series -- I actually really wish this was a stand a lone. 

 

Grace believes she isn't crazy. Even though she see's her mother everywhere. Her mother died in a bad accident a few years ago and Grace has been devastated ever since. She swears she know's who did it. And that he's right there in the embassy trying to kill another person. Its up to Grace to get to the bottom of it. 

 

I was disappointing with how Ally Carter ended this. I actually did a huge eye roll. That's probably what frustrated me the most about this book. It easily could be a stand a lone, but as normal with YA, the story must drag on. 

 

The characters are relatable - its a perfect book for middle grade and young high school students. I personally would have liked more of a back ground on the embassy's especially since that's not something we've seen a lot in YA lit. 

 

So, lots of good things going on but one of those that just didn't impress me in the end.
