Chronicle Toward Books Elsewhere

Welcome to Elsewhere. It is warm, with a breeze, and the beaches are marvelous. It's quiet and peaceful. You can't get sick or any older. Curious to see new paintings by Picasso? Swing by one of Elsewhere's museums. Need to talk to someone about your problems? Stop by Marilyn Monroe's psychiatric practice.

Elsewhere is where fifteen-year-old Liz Hall ends up, after she has died. It is a place so like Earth, yet completely different. Here Liz will age backward from the day of her death until she becomes a baby again and returns to Earth. But Liz wants to turn sixteen, not fourteen again. She wants to get her driver's license. She wants to graduate from high school and go to college. And now that she's dead, Liz is being forced to live a life she doesn't want with a grandmother she has only just met. And it is not going well. How can Liz let go of the only life she has ever known and embrace a new one? Is it possible that a life lived in reverse is no different from a life lived forward?

This moving, often funny book about grief, death, and loss will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned.

Write Up Containing Books Elsewhere

Awesome. I love creative renditions of the afterlife, and seeing into the writer's imagination. This was a very whimsical, fascinating take on death and life - I loved the image of the tree: that life and death are like the roots and branches of a tree - neither can see the other, but they are both alive and connected. I loved the message that life after death is still real life, and that things move on, you keep growing, working and building relationships. The characters were great, especially

You know what sucks?When you get 53 (YES, FIFTY THREE) pages into a book and realize that you've read it before. That blows.You know what doesn't suck?You really like said book. I mean, it's been a good 8 months, and I was still hazy about the plot throughout the whole book, but it's SUCH a good story that I didn't mind kinda knowing the plot. Liz is 15 and is a hit and run victim. She wakes up on the S.S. Nile (cute, huh?) and it takes her a bit but she finds out she's died and then ends up in

In a way, there is something about Zevin's view of the afterlife reminds me of the Florida vacations from my childhood: a leisurely drive through one sunny, pleasant day after another. If that was all there was to it, I probably wouldn't recommend this book so highly, but Zevin's story of a girl's growth after her own mortal life ends is anything but simple. The recently deceased arrive in Elsewhere (as the afterlife is known) with the understanding that they will be aging backwards to the point

Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.comStories about the Afterlife have always appealed to me. There are thousands upon thousands of interpretations out there about what, exactly, happens to a person after they die. ELSEWHERE is a new spin on an old topic, but it manages to bring emotion, realism, and entertainment to something that is, in most circumstances, a very depressing situation. To me, ELSEWHERE is a combination of Mitch Albom's THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN and Alice Sebold's THE

ISBN: 0374320918Elsewhere by Gabriel Zevin Do you want to see the latest Picasso paintings? Well you just spring by his gallery and see his new paintings. Maybe you can say hey to Marilyn Monroe at her psychiatric center. Well if you want to do all that youd take a cruise there. But of course theres a catch to it all, and Liz Hall knows all about that because under her circumstances she can do all of that because shes a fifteen-year-old girl and shes dead. The curious adventurous Liz Hall is

1000/5 STARSI always get so surprised when I see the low ratings of Elsewhere on Goodreads, because this one of my favorite books of ALL TIME. The synopsis on both Goodreads AND the back of the book itself just doesn't do it justice. I would very much recommend this to anyone, and suggest you give it a chance!!!!What I liked: I've read it more times than I can count, and each time I get something new. It's so moving and bittersweet and wonderful - I sob through the whole book each time I reread.

Quality of writing: 3/5Pace: 4/5Plot development: 4/5Characters: 4/5Enjoyability: 5/5Score: 4 Stars out of 5Overview: I dont often read such juvenile books but I remember enjoying this one several years ago and reading it again I am not disappointed. There are some small plot holes with how things work in this reverse aging, afterlife but the story itself is fresh and beautiful. I found myself crying at the end both tears of joy and sadness. Quick, fun read.
