Hate List recap: free choice

Hate List by Jennifer Brown
     I am starting to enjoy this novel more and more every page I read.  My emotions when I am reading this novel are I tend to become curious about what is going to happen next.  I also want to know what the characters look like, because in my mind I can get a clue.  I wish that this book had some pictures so they can fill the blanks in my head about what the characters look like.   The text sometimes messes me up because it flashes back a lot and I am not really used to reading books like this.  In some ways its good but others it not because it is different.  The way they talk in this novel would be in present/ modern day tense because the way the talk is how we do today.  Nothing is not to flashy about how they talk or to old school, so this relates mainly to the way we talk today.  The strangest part like I said is the flashbacks.  Some of the time I tend to flip back to the pages that I have already read, so I can get the full effect of the text.  While flipping back, I can reread what I need and helps me remember the text and what is going on in the novel.  If you read the text clearly and take notes about what is going on and list the characters, then you will be able to understand the text and novel a lot better.
