Summary Of Maggie Stiefvater's Linger
The longing, the loss, the linger. Grace and Sam found a cure for Sam to stay human but now it is Grace’s turn to be worried about that chill of the spring air. Sam is still getting used to the whole being-human-even-in-the-winter thing☺(hyphenated modifier). He is longing to have Beck back so he does not have to deal with the new wolves that Beck bequeathed ☺ (vocabulary) to him before he turned into a wolf for the last time. Cole is one of the new wolves who has many secrets, and he does not seem to be willing to tell them to anyone especially not Sam. Through all of this, Grace is dealing with a new sickness that causes a lingering thought in them all that it might be a lot more than just a common cold. I would give the book Linger by Maggie Stiefvater an A+ because it has a very suspenseful storyline, the characters have enticing characteristics, and the love story between Grace and Sam is very interesting. The storyline of the book is very up and down and keeps you wanting to read more. It starts out making you think everything is perfect and back to normal for the main characters Grace and Sam, then it to totally gets turned upside down with the entrance of the new wolf Cole: “I felt a weird prickle go …show more content…
Grace fell in love with Sam, and at the same Same fell in love with Grace. Sam is very emotional and Grace is normally the one who comforts but she also has a soft side: “ I was used to me being the practical one and Sam being the emotional one” (Stiefvater 147). Grace is the strong hearted one in the relationship. She hold herself together for Sam especially when he is going through a hard time. Sam and Grace are so in love they would do anything to be together, but Grace’s parents are beginning to make their relationship very difficult. They are the modern day Romeo and Juliet being kept apart by their parents when all they want is to be together

    This book was possibly the best book I have ever read. Let’s start with out with the characters. These characters were very descriptive and interesting. Kaz Breeker was the main character; he was the leader of the dregs. With his character, he was a well-developed character from the beginning, but his character developed even more through-out the story. He was strong, but you also saw his weak spots, mental breakdowns, dealing with a never healed broken leg, and lash outs. He was someone you were scared of, but you would become best friends with him. He was like fire and ice at the same time. Now the setting, this is a fantasy book so it does not take place anywhere we know. Most of the story takes place in Ketterdam. Ketterdam is a city on…

    I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the characters, especially Harlen Bigbear. Harlen came across as a sort of ‘trickster', but a likable one. He was gentle, caring, and harmless in his own right. Will, the protagonist, was very likable as well. However, his character only evolved for me as a result of Harlen's unconditional and relentless friendship with him. In short, Will's character would've lacked without the likeness of a Harlen Bigbear. The character naming was also very ingenious. The Oldpersons, Prettywomans, baby South Wing, and others…

    I continued reading on the second day feeling empowered by the animals uprising; I felt the freedom of the characters. The commandments were brilliant, but they seemed more like rules to me. I already predict that Napoleon isn’t the best character here, but on a whole the animal’s hard work amazed me. I honestly like the character Benjamin; he has me thinking I can’t exactly read him, his personality. I could have only imagined him as what the book described. With the war and molli’s betrayal, the book already seems to be going down a dark path.…
