Elsewhere by Gabriel Zevin
Do you want to see the latest Picasso paintings? Well you just spring by his gallery and see his new paintings. Maybe you can say hey to Marilyn Monroe at her psychiatric center. Well if you want to do all that you’d take a cruise there. But of course there’s a catch to it all, and Liz Hall knows all about that because under her circumstances she can do all of that because she’s a fifteen-year-old girl and she’s dead.
The curious adventurous Liz Hall is just fifteen-years-old girl! She doesn’t even have her official drivers license. She’s now in a place called Elsewhere which is the afterlife. She was hit by a taxicab on her way to the mall to pick up a prom dress that she’s not even going to for her friend Zoey. How messed up is that? Liz hall is wanting and yearning to just go home and pretend that it’s jut a dream; that nothing actually happened, but instead of getting her drivers license at sixteen she’s going to get it at a younger age of fifteen, because in Elsewhere time goes backwards. Instead of getting older you’re actually going to get younger until you’re a baby and get shipped back to earth.
Speechless and overwhelmed the book jumped out, with it’s interesting cover and title. I recommend this riveting spectacular novel Elsewhere because of it’s realisticness and fast pace read. Gabrelle Zevin leaves you hanging wanting you to read more and more until you finish the book satisfied. I loved Elsewhere it kept me guessing, I could relate to Liz Hall so much, except for the whole death part, of course.

Scot Nourok Captivating introduction and I like the light touch in your conclusion. Nice work!


Hui Lin I brought this book last year and I still didn't start the book yet. After reading your review, I feel like this book is really INTERESTING. Also I like your conclusion and I think it really did wrap up the review with you relating to Liz Hall. I agree with Julie that I can heard your voice by reading your review! GOOD WORK!!!

I thought the beginning question was great eventhough no one really cares about picasso. Great Job!

Shawna Your review is amazing. It really drew me in and made me interested in reading Elsewhere. I love your introduction.


Christine I heard this is a good book but i haven't read it yet. After reading your review i actually feel like picking the book up from the library. I also agree with your thinking; a 15 yaer-old, dead and haven't even gotten her liscene yet. I want to read this book to see the perspective of the protagonist. nice job on it! =]


Dean Great review Ashley. I really enjoyed the intro, very clever. You really make me want to read it too, you better let me borrow it. Sounds a little like The Lovely Bones though.


Ashley I disagree it's different then lovely bones because the protagonist isn't the taxi cab driver and she wasn't raped =/ but I don't know...

Laurel Wow. Your introduction was really cool. You start off with something everyone knows in the world, the connect it to the plot of your book. Good Job! >__<
