LitPick Review
"How They Met and Other Stories" is a collection of short stories. All the stories are related to love and all different kinds of love. Some are sad, but some are also very happy. Each story in the book is different, and the variety ranges throughout the entire book. The age of all the characters differ throughout the story, as well as the orientation of the couple involved. They all explain a situation of love and show the history of the love or how the love played out. The style of each story is as different as the plot. Some are written as poems. Others are written as a story passed on down the generations. And others are written with dialogue in the present time. The diversity and range of David Leviathan is obvious through his writing.
Opinion:
"How They Met and Other Stories" by David Levithan is an interesting book. Throughout the novel, the reader must keep an open mind and invite all different thoughts and opinions inside. David Levithan achieved his purpose of sharing these love stories with others. The reading was easy to understand and was not meant to be tripped though and stumbled over. The different stories make you see all the different kinds of love in the world. Not every love will be picture perfect like in movies or in many other books. These stories are not Disney romances that always play out perfectly in the end. The novel makes you see that love is all around us and comes in so many different flavors and varieties. Not every love will be picture perfect like in movies or in many other books. By the end of the eighteenth short story, you will be able to look at love from all angles and appreciate it so much more. This book is definitely out of the ordinary and I would recommend it too thers that enjoy romance and have an open mind.
