If I Should Die Before I Wake
Our group only reads a chapter a day, so I haven't gotten very far in the book. It's about Hilary, a Neo-nazi girl living during World War 2. She gets in a motorcycle accident and ends up in a Jewish hospital, which bothers her a lot, since she hates Jews. Soon, she starts switching bodies from Hilary to Chana - a young Jewish girl.
The first few pages are just Hilary yelling at a Jewish woman in her hospital room. I don't know if she's thinking or talking, because there's no quotation marks, but it seems like she's talking. Honestly, as I kept reading, I started wondering if the old Jewish woman was there at all, or if Hilary was just imagining her. I think this book might bring up lots of questions, because it sounds a little confusing. One of mine is does she actually switch bodies from Hilary to Chana, or is it just a dream? Also, who is the real girl - Hilary or Chana?
I think this could either be a really good book, or a terrible and confusing one. It's too early to tell, but I'm not sure I like it.
