#7 Revived

 

Title: Revived

Author: Cat Patrick

            This book talked about the possibility of being brought back from the dead. In fact, they use a drug called Revive to well revive back people who are dead.

            To be honest, it wasn’t about the brought back from the dead that interest me nor how psychotic the leader of this particular program. Instead, I like the part that the heroine, Daisy still managed to keep in touch with her friend that died and live again after the program. They still text and IMed each other. They even co-authored a blog where they talked about anything of their interest. By the way, they did not acknowledged that they are best friends but instead sisters. She (the best friend) is also a transgender, something that is seldom known to the world.

             This book showed survivors of death but it also talked about how one feel after seeing her loved ones died. Death can’t actually be avoided. One of Daisy’s friend died of cancer and there’s nothing she can do about it. It shows how different people cope with death. Some might try to shut people off. Some grieve and hold on to things that actually didn’t really matter like old t-shirts and cry all over them. What I see about death is you remember everything good about them but not to dwell about how he or she is not here anymore. Instead, try to live on because sooner or later, whether you like it or not, you’ll be joining them, no matter where ‘it’ is.
