Review: Worlds Apart

by +SaNtOsH Misal


Book: Worlds Apart
Author: Luke Loaghan


As a teenager when everything (including ones body) is changing, it is really difficult to keep up with world around. Things like Admittance into High School, Issues with parents, Privacy invasion from siblings, finding true friends, possibly a high school sweetheart, acknowledgement from peers, Grades, credits, assignments, and internships are just tip of the problems that a teenager has to face... One of such teenager is our stories protagonist David.

We all know High-School. The place where for some dreams come true, whilst for others their Nightmares. In such time David was determined to be a self-made success story no matter where he attends college. He got accepted at Stanton. Stanton is like the greatest public high school in the state of New York and perhaps in the entire country but if one wanted a Stanton education one had to risk going to school in the most dangerous neighborhood in all of New York in the 1980's New York City was the murder capital of the world. Street gangs, drug dealers, robbers, muggers and other nefarious creatures were in control of the streets.


Very few times I come across a book that grab me from the very first line and never let go... The book of which even Epilogue seems more important than others index (to put it in perspective)... Well that's the kind of book is Worlds Apart. Although it might take some time to get used to with authors writing style, for me it was first paragraph... :)

Having College kid (David) as narrator made whole reading experience feel like, high-school and college days played in RPG mode. Which made this an enjoyable read. Though I had my own displeasures with this book, like this line, “A man without regret never looks back.” with which I couldn’t agree. But there were few mood-lifting funny lines like this one, “It was expensive to dress like a starving artist” (David thinking to himself)

So to conclude, I would say this is a must read YA novel! This book deserves 5 of 5 points and I loved it!!!
