desertcart.com: Bubble World: 9781250044419: Snow, Carol: Books

Review: Bubble World - enjoyable read! - I was only going to give "Bubble World", by Carol Snow, 4 stars, but when I tried to come up with a reason - think of something 'missing' - I couldn't, so I have to give it 5 stars! At first I was a little lost in the lingo of Bubble World, but the further I read, the more I enjoyed the story, and the lingo seemed to flow more naturally. A very enjoyable read, and I can't wait for my teenage daughter to read it, too. I held off giving "Switch" to my tween because I felt the relationships sometimes got a little 'old' for my daughter... I didn't have to worry about that at all with Bubble World (plus my daughter is now older and geez, the things they require her to read in high school.... not my choice for appropriate material!) I'm a big fan of Carol Snow's books, both YA and 'regular'.... This newest one did NOT disappoint! And I agree, Carol - the cover is great! (This is specifically for the Kindle version - in which there were little to no editing/spelling issues - which has not been the case in many of my Kindle purchases!)
Review: Nice - Good

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paradise Found?
*by E***. on July 11, 2013*

Welcome to the island of Agalinas, a tropical paradise where the weather is perfect, everyone is wealthy, and "class" consists of eating snacks and chatting with friends. Freesia has lived in the only town on Agalinas, Avalon, her entire life, and there's no way she'd ever want to live anywhere else. Occasionally something strange will happen-- a blackout, or people disappearing. But she's always found it's best not to think too hard about things. Recently, though, the strange happenings have been getting stranger, and more frequent. A blackout is one thing, but how can a store with big windows go pitch black on a sunny day? And what about the ugly girl she sees in her mirror one morning? Worse, no one else seems to notice. Is Freesia going crazy, or is something seriously wrong in Agalinas? I have to warn you right now that since the exposition comes about 70 pages into the book, it's going to be hard to talk about it without giving anything away (especially when it comes to themes). I'll try, but I don't think I'll be able to avoid hinting at things (skip down to IN SHORT if you want the short, 100% spoiler-free version). But the early reveal turns out to be a good thing. "Bubble World" starts off colorful and fun. The characters are shallow, but I found myself interested in all the beautiful scenery, technology, clothes, and parties. However, this could have gotten boring fast. Freesia's character starts to gain more complexity once she starts taking notice of the strange things around her. She gets scared, feels isolated. And when she learns the truth about her world, she finds herself dealing with some pretty heavy issues and having to make some serious choices. Freesia comes into her own as she learns to navigate a not-so-perfect world, trying to make the best of it but longing to return to her state of ignorance. This was something I could strongly relate to. I am someone who lives with one foot in the real world and the other in her own fantasy world, and I know what it's like to wish reality were more like the world of my imagination. This is what the book is about, really-- the conundrum of choosing between an imperfect world and a perfect (but fabricated) one. The book handled this topic at least as well as other fiction I've read (or seen) on the subject, but, like the others, I didn't think it went into enough depth. It touched on the question of "What makes something real?" but didn't really explore it. Other questions I wanted to see answered: Can there be different kinds of reality? Do you have to choose, or can reality and a world like Agalinas both be part of your life? Can AI be sentient (this is a question the text raises but never really addresses)? I realize that this is a YA novel, not a philosophy text book, but these questions are obvious ones and could easily have been addressed. One problem here (and in other works of its kind) is that there's a villain pulling the strings in the shadows. That changes the issue. A fantasy world where you're free to make your own choices is one thing, but if someone else is manipulating things, there are issues of control and subjugation that are obviously going to make the fantasy world more problematic. Just once, I'd like to see a work like this where the theme is kept pure and simple, one where there's a possibility for some kind of middle ground. But despite my thematic issues, the plot is compelling; I read this book at an unusually fast pace (for me). I stayed interested in Freesia's life both in and outside of Agalinas. Freesia is certainly the strongest character, but some others were good, too. I wanted to know how she felt and thought, wanted to find out how she'd cope and what decisions she'd make. Freesia's bestie, Jelissa, is mostly there to support her (though she does show emotional depth later in the story). Her other bestie, Ricky, showed more development, but I felt the book didn't really give his thoughts enough attention. He's a kind person, and much smarter than he leads on. He's stuck in one way of thinking, shown to be in denial, but really, I didn't think his thoughts were entirely wrong. I wanted the novel to explore his philosophy (it's real because it feels real) more. Unfortunately, the other characters (family, friends, and love interest) were not so well developed. The mother is ambiguous, shown to be loving at times, but then she'll do something so misguided. She doesn't seem to learn anything, and though she claims she wants the best for Freesia, she's got to be either selfish or incredibly naive. The little sister, Angel, turns into a stereotypical rebellious/apathetic teenager. The father doesn't really come into it much; he mostly goes along with the mother, but does seem to be more considerate. And neither the friends nor the romantic interest get much personality at all. IN SHORT: "Bubble World" has a compelling, fun story that keeps the pages turning. The exposition comes early, but this allows the book to focus on the choice Freesia has to make and allows her to develop as a character. Though the story is entertaining, there are some pretty heavy themes at its heart. It did pretty well with them, at least as well as other fiction of this nature that I'm familiar with. However, I wanted it to go much more in depth than it did. Freesia is a strong, likable character, and her best friends, though not as well-written, get their own development. The other characters, though, were pretty weak. Still, I think the characters that were strong, the compelling plot, and the themes (though not fully developed) are more than enough to recommend this title.
