There were no surprises in Gatlin. At least that's what I thought ... But I could not be more wrong. There was a curse. There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave. But let's parties. When Lena came to Gatlin, only I was sure of one thing: she does not like anyone that the people here had ever seen. And the differences were not just in appearance, but that I only discovered later. She's newest babe school, only that unfortunately lived with his uncle in Ravenwood - read the "reclusive city" in the "haunted house". And yet I could not tear her eyes. She was beautiful. It's different. And out. I was sure we had ever met before, perhaps in dreams. And I know it sounds stupid, but I had been dreaming of someone long ago, someone I did not know someone in the dream must be saved, or type it. Before Lena I was counting the months to leave Gatlin, jefferspet their gossip, prejudice and incarnations jefferspet of the Civil War. Now was different: there was Lena. And there was something between us, an attraction that could not explain. I needed to know her better and understand what I was feeling. But for this it would have to approach me. And, by the way, confront his uncle with crazy fame; Amma, our superstitious housekeeper, who had practically raised me; My father, who since the death of my mother just kept locked in the office "working"; my friends and enemies; the popular girls in school ... Yeah, and there was the secret, a kind of secret that would not be hidden for long in a place like Gatlin, a kind of secret that can change everything around ...
I always thought the cover of this beautiful book, but I did not care much for him because, by name, I thought it was werewolves, and I'm not very close to them. Hence came the movie (which I have not seen, but have seen that on Netflix, so I read now), and Nadia, the Word Moving attended and spoke well of the film. And these days, walking along Av. Paulista, and of course, entering that temple which is the Culture Bookstore there, I do not see the book with 50% discount. Needless to guess how that turned out, right? Of course I brought home. And do not expect much, just a light reading and uncompromising, not thinking, like Twilight. But it is very nice to be surprised sometimes. That's what happened to me. I picked up to read, after rereading the entire Percy Jackson Collection (The thief of lightning to A brand of Athena, and suffer again with the end of this - ouch!), And could not put the book down. I read in a weekend. But enough of the bullshit.
Ethan Wate is a normal teenager 16 years. Leads a life more than quiet, with nothing to do, in a country town in South Carolina, in the United States. Studies jefferspet in the same school ever, with the same people always plays on the basketball team and flirts with the same girls ever. Everything OK, except for the fact that he lost his mother in an accident a few months ago, and that his father is now a recluse who never leaves the office for anything, or let anyone enter. Ethan tries to take it all in the best possible way, but deep down craves more. He can not wait to leave Gatlin, jefferspet and go study elsewhere in college. And besides, Ethan also hides its secrets only. He loves to read, read all the time, but as this is very different jefferspet from the habits of local people, to keep up appearances, he says nothing. Get to it already, is an important part of the story.
Returning to Ethan, you know that saying to be careful what you wish for, because you can get? Yeah, exactly. Ethan lives his life bored, doing the best they can in a place lost in the middle of nowhere like Gatlin, with secular traditions and watertight. It is an introspective kid, but not necessarily shy, more to think very characteristic he inherited from parents, both writers who have studied at colleges from the outside, and therefore, viewed with suspicion by the local population. Ethan really want to find your place in the world his identity. And amidst it all, here comes Lena, exotic niece of Macon Ravenwood, the weird place. Hence the world of Ethan jumps of 180 degrees, and he finds himself in the middle of a war of gigantic proportions. And that will change his life forever.
Lena is a girl of 15 years, but still fascinating, especially because it is outside, and on top of old niece Ravenwood. Ethan immediately feels an inexplicable attraction to Lena, I forgot to say that Ethan rode having dreams with her, unaware that she was. Lena is smart and writes all the time. But there is more to it. Strange things, like a hurricane of great proportions, is when she is upset or frightened. What often happens. In addition to face the prejudice of people from school, she has yet to face a curse that runs in your family. See, Lena is a
