Review of Crossing The Dateline
This fascinating book, Crossing the Dateline, is a fictional book written by Carrie Hannah. This book has ninety-two chapters. The book tells the story of a young girl named Justine who tried to go into several things to find her purpose in life. But it seemed she would never find it until her encounter with an unforgettable experience.
The book starts with Justine, a student of the School of Naturopathy and Herbal Medicine. Justine was interested in history. She was raised by Ducky, who she considered to be her dad. Ducky loved her so much, and he called her "Parcel" to tease her. He had started taking care of her when her mother left her at age six. One night while she went to dispose of the trash in the bin outside the streets, she had a strange encounter that changed her life forever. What could this encounter be? Was it a horrifying experience or a pleasant one? I encourage you to get a copy of this book to find out.
Crossing the Dateline has a lot of positive aspects. First, I liked that the characters in this book were unique, and this made reading the book exciting to read. For instance, in chapter one, we were told of Ducky, who was always optimistic and full of life and vigor. Another compelling character was Maggie; she was full of surprises. Although the book contained several chapters, my interest while reading was not lost because every chapter was connected to the next. The story continues fascinatingly throughout the book. I would say the author had an excellent way of describing places. Her description of the roads and everything in it gave me a perfect picture of what New Orleans looks like, though I haven't visited there yet. The language of this book was easy to understand; it didn't give me any difficulty as a reader.
I found minimal errors in this book. This shows that it was professionally edited. I tried so hard to find a negative aspect to this book, but I found none. I enjoyed everything about this book. I was glued to this book from the very first page to the last.
Therefore, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I did not give this book a lower rating because it was intriguing. I recommend this book generally to fiction lovers around the world and to anyone who enjoys reading historical fiction novels.
