Dark Visions

            One of the best books I’ve ever read in my opinion is a book called Dark Visions by L.J. Smith. L.J. Smith has wrote some really good supernatural books in my opinion, but my favorite one is this one because it doesn’t exactly seem like a carbon copy of all the other books out there. Yes, it is a romantic book, and has to do with supernatural abilities, but instead of werewolves, vampires, or some strange other species this is all about psychic abilities of some teenagers.

            The reason I like this book so much is because first of all it has romance in it and I sometimes love romance books, but the main reason is the writing style. I mean the words are pretty easy to interpret and it’s not really hard to understand or anything and that’s why I like it. The age group for this book I’d say is about middle school and maybe early high school (so me being a junior now would probably be an extremely easy read for me), but I definitely suggest to about middle school students and to the high school students that are tired of looking up every other word in the dictionary because you have no idea what it means, or sparknoting the book to figure out what the book is trying to tell you to begin with.

            Dark Visions focuses on three guys and two girls (if I recall correctly) Lewis, Gabriel, Rob, Katlyn, and Anna. I think the psychic abilities makes the book a little different from most romance novels and there is way more action occurring than would usually be in a plain romance novel. And honestly it’s one of those romantic books that doesn’t really seem like a romance till about the very end (or a bit in the middle).

            I love the characters that L.J. Smith created in the book you have this golden charming guy, Rob, the bad boy, Gabriel, the comedian, Lewis, and then the sweet Anna that’s always there for everyone. Now the book takes place from Katlyn’s perspective and so like most romance novels she thinks she’s nothing important and by the end of the book….blah blah blah like most clichés.

            I just think that if people want a rather simpler read (but not too simply of course because that is just highly irritating) that they should read Dark Visions. My guess though is that probably only girls would like this book, but you never know…But this is definitely one of my favorite books and I think that others will enjoy it as much as  I did (I read it like five times). Now if they had a movie for this book, I think that would be really interesting, but there can’t necessarily be a movie for every book I enjoy sadly.
