Customer Review

After an accident, in which, among other things her best friend Rachel was killed, Mara Dyer wakes up in the hospital, but can not remember anything more. Neither why she was in an abandoned asylum, nor what exactly happened there.

To begin redraw her parents with her and her two brothers to Miami, but also there will be Mara night plagued by nightmares and daytime hallucinations. At some point they no longer know what is true and what is not, and thinks of going crazy when finally piling the mysterious incidents in their immediate vicinity. Your parents can not be trusted, because her mother she would be hospitalized immediately. But maybe they can talk about it with Noah, because he also harbors a dark secret ...

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is an interesting youth book, behind its history hides much more than it first appears. Even the genre can not be so easily set because of the search for the lost memories will soon be something else entirely fancier.

In the first part of the plot revolves around the question of what really happened in the institution, why only Mara has survived the collapse of the building and how it should deal with this trauma. At first she can not even remember ever having been there, the time will come in your sleep but returned a few fragments that compose it now and must correctly interpret what is far from easy, since the actual truth extremely difficult to is to digest and also ensures goosebumps.

Gradually the story develops namely in a completely different direction. What Mara initially only for hallucinations caused by their post-traumatic stress disorder, maintains, but in the end seems to play not only in all Maras head. You know sometimes can not remember what, and what reality is imagination, and therefore believes to be mad. Moreover, Maras thoughts - and not the positive - suddenly seem to be true. But how? Why? And, more importantly, how can you control that? Or it forms the end also only one? After all, can come true but mere thought impossible simply. Even as a reader, you therefore know someday not remember exactly what one can still believe and what not, because Mara as narrator though sympathetic, but is not a particularly reliable source.

The only person she can confide in to be without fear briefed then, Noah's. The cheeky, conceited classmate with dubious reputation, who had thrown from the first day an eye on Mara. Behind his smile and his coolness he also hides a dark secret he could not share with anyone -to he met Mara. But understandably it takes quite a while until the two come together for their ongoing, quite amusing war of words really closer and can finally talk so openly. Your skills are presumed namely anything that can be so easily reveal Himself. Behind Noah arrogant facade hides a man who in spite of his faults and his past, has a good heart and Mara can prove ultimately, that he feels more for you and you can therefore trust him.
The love story between them is not necessarily trivial, but urges also not entirely to the fore as the other storylines forgotten for more than a brief moment. She is particularly so nice to read, because the two do not fall headlong into each other, but also develop real feelings for each other slowly, making their relationship more authentic.

Together they try to find out what happens to them and whether they can influence it to prevent further disasters. None of them can be explained where their talents have come at a time or what they are actually capable of. Especially Mara can be very dangerous to their fellow human beings, which is why it is essential to learn to control himself. Otherwise they could break at their own actions and their consequences.

Once the action begins rather slowly, it takes towards the end increasingly gaining momentum. The various events come thick and downright what indeed makes one hand for even more excitement, the other hand, in parts also for confusion. Several questions are raised, however, does not answer any of them. It's suddenly all too quickly and when you reach the last line, it's one at first unaware, because the end is coming so abruptly. The Cliffhanger by surprise a literally and thus leaves the reader back rather perplexed as curious. The sequel is one not to be missed anyway, because of course you want to know what is going on with Maras skills and get answers to the many questions.

* CONCLUSION *
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is an interesting story that has more to offer than you would expect and a very busy even during the reading breaks. The plot to Mara, the one mitfiebert all the time is captivating, but often makes for confusion. Nevertheless, you will read the continuation certainly also, hopefully answered at least some of the many unanswered questions in the Michelle Hodgkin.
