Me Before You

I've never read a book from this author, but the enthusiasm about the book and the certain tragedy that seems merely by the simple blurb through, but then have piqued my interest.

Jojo Moyes writing style captivates from the first row. She begins the story of Will's point of view to tell, but then changes to Louisa, who thus functions not only as a person but also as a main narrator. Lou was my incredibly sympathetic of the first line. A normal Mitzwanzigerin that has never really come out of her hometown, who loves her parents, and argues with her sister and tolerate again. Wonderful normal.

Together with Lou makes the reader the acquaintance of Will, and get up close with how many caring makes the young woman actually at this new job as a nurse, because their parents do not believe that it the task to take care of a disabled person at all has grown , And Will also seems not to want to help Lou.

I started to hate him and im sure he knew it.

Wills Life consists of a daily struggle with himself. He has to rely on the help of his nurse Nathan, and he hates this dependence and the inability to do anything himself deeply, he was constantly on the road sooner and not averse even adrenalin kicks. Now he is in a wheelchair needs help with eating, dressing, during locomotion. He takes pills for cramps, for his blood pressure, for the stomach, for better sleep, relieve pain, his body temperature can not control themselves. But what he wants is by no means compassion.

I wanted to feel sorry for him. I really did. I thought hey what the saddest person I had ever met, in Those Moments When I glimpsed him staring out the window. And as the days went by and I Realized That his condition which not just a matter of being stuck in That chair, of the loss of physical freedom, but a never-ending litany of indignities and health problems, risks and discomforts of, I Decided That If I Were Will, I would probably be pretty miserable too. But oh Lord, what ge vile to me.

As different as both characters are still, not only in their own way, but only by their environment here in which they grew up, they find despite initial difficulties to cope their own way with each other. Verbal exchanges are to pass the time, and made me laugh more than once. But the oppressive tragedy of the decision, the Will has taken for itself, is always present and is always brought back to the reader in mind.

Thanks to each other make the two new experiences, to rethink many things and find more and more on its own level with each other. Together with Lou we experience the successes and defeats of their mission to change Wills decision. We hope. We lose it. We find them again.

Although Lou clearly is the main narrator of the book, as well as the other people have their say and have the chance, the story and the events from their point of view to tell. Especially Will's mother (She made my own mother look like Ozzy Osbourne.) Has so showed me in a completely different light and left a deep impression on me. But Nathan, the Lou aptly describes as armored vehicle in human form, is a wonderful character who can be infected by Lous plans and hope though, is not convinced entirely by the success.

It is hard to write about this book, without giving too much away but not accidentally, although I believe that many readers already guess the outcome of the story before they even start to read.

Me Before You brought my feelings side by side to side. I laughed. According to and from the bottom of my heart. I cried. Quietly, only to break out again in laughter the next minute. I tip my hat to Jojo Moyes because to actually trigger such a noise at a wide variety of feelings with me it takes a lot. Me Before You did all this. Characters which must include the heart wonderfully real to act so that they from the outset. A story that moves, do not let go, even if you have already read the book a. A book stimulates us to think, laugh, and moves you to tears. And honestly, what more could you want?
