What Caused Major Change In Charactor After By Amy Efaw

Hello everyone. I have finished reading After. It really wasn't hard to do considering it sucked me right in and kept me wondering and interested. Although I really didn't like the way it ended. I'm not going into detail about it because some of us are still reading and I don't know if you have finished yet. This blog is about what caused a major change in the charactor. The main charactor is Devon Davenport and I think not having her mom around much caused her to do what she did, she panicked and didn't have anyone around to talk to. She was in denial the whole way through. She changed by worry and guilt. Once she was in jail she finally realized what she did was wrong and she was the type of girl who hated to make mistakes and when she does she tries to do everything she can to correct them. When she finally came out of denial and saw what she had done was a mistake she was ready to take responsibility for her actions and any punishment that followsw. That's why I don't like how it ended it's hard to explain without telling you but Ican tell you it just ends in the middle of nowhere and kinda leaves you hanging and Ireally got a litle disappointed. But outside of the ending it was a rally good book, but could have used another chapter or two. I would still reommend you to read it.

After by: Amy Efaw

Hello everybody. I am now reading After. I am going to try to give you a review without telling you to much considering I am already half way through and it has only been a week or so. The book begins with the main charactor Devon and her mom Jennifer Davenport. Devon has appeared to miss school one day and her mom is surprisingly excited because she works graveyard and doesnt have much time with her. Well mom seems interested on why Devon actually stayed home because she is the type of kid whom never misses,honor student and star soccer player. So mom suspects something is wrong and Devon just isn't with it and blows her off as she doesn't feel good. Mom goes into how her day at work was, so Devon is listening but not paying attention. She says on her way home she noticed police sirens and red lights everywhere behind the apartment building and asked a detective"whats going on"? He gave minor details and she was shocked and overwhelmed at his response. Devon still not with it. A few moments later a knock on the door the detective from earlier was standing there. Jennifer, the flirt that she is, asks if she can help him in a flirty kind of way. The detective replies just want to ask a few questions about last night. She replies,she heard or knows nothing because she works nights but proceeds into telling him Devon was home all night and morning and possibly could help. And then the story begins. Tthat was the first chapter a basic review I dont want to ruin anything for anybody so you will just have to read it. I would strongly recommend it to anyone. It instantly grabs you from the begining and keeps you page turning. And I definetly would not change any element of this story. It's a must read book!!!!!!!
