Criticism Based On Books Just in Case

I wanted to like this. I really did. I loved "How I Live Now", thought it one of the best written and innovative young adult books for a generation. And indeed, I did love the first third of this second novel. I felt the same sense of heady exhilaration at the sheer audacity and exuberance of Rosoff's prose.But then I began to falter. Or rather the story did. First I noticed the frequent changes of viewpoint. Writers are recommended to stick to just one viewpoint per scene for a reason - to do

Just in case is a novel about a teenage boy who changes his identity when he believes that fate is after him. One thing that had intrigued me was the doggedness of Davids character and how he was convinced that he was vulnerable to disaster at any moment. Although, the notion of fate being after him was quite unbelievable and surreal, the voice of fate and the behaviors and thoughts of Justin solidified the idea. Overall, I enjoyed this book because it was an interesting and unpredictable read.

I don't get this book. I don't get the point or the message the author was trying to convey, if any. All it had going for it were series of confusing events which were left unexplained and a depressed main character in his teenage years, something we've read about over and over again. Once all my crazy theories turned out to be wrong, I couldn't take this book seriously. David Case's baby brother almost falls out of the window and that somehow leads him to believe that Fate is out to get him.

David Case wants a life that is just like everyone else's, but Fate just can't seem to leave him alone. In an attempt to outwit Fate, David changes his name to Justin, takes on a new persona and begins to run, quite literally, from what Fate has in store for him next. From causing bicycle accidents to being the target of a plane crash to a deadly disease that nearly kills him, Justin learns that it is not Fate that determines his future but the choices he makes and the people he surrounds

YES. This is what actual YA literature looks like. This is what actually goes through the mind of an actual person who is actually grappling with life and adolescence and shit

Read this one several months ago. I was hoping for big things after How I live Now. This book was good, quite funny at times, but not even on the same level.A kid name, I don't know, maybe Aaron Case or something, gets completely and totally preoccupied with fate/predestination and all the terrible things that could happen to him. So, he decides to adopt the name Justin Case (get it, Just In Case, har) and completely change his public identity in the hopes of outwitting fate. Cute premise, but

This is an interesting coming of age story that starts with a bang: a depressive teen's baby brother almost falls out a window on his watch. He realized how his life could have been shattered and decides he is doomed, and needs to reinvent himself to hide from Fate. Fate is an actual character - there's no hiding. The baby brother is remarkably intelligent - we are privy to his thoughts, which then comically come out in babyish blurts that give no hint of the sweet, brilliant boy within. The
