Description To Books The Beginning of Everything
Robyn Schneider's The Beginning of Everything is a witty and heart-wrenching teen novel that will appeal to fans of books by John Green and Ned Vizzini, novels such as The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and classics like The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye. Varsity tennis captain Ezra Faulkner was supposed to be homecoming king, but that was before—before his girlfriend cheated on him, before a car accident shattered his leg, and before he fell in love with unpredictable new girl Cassidy Thorpe. As Kirkus Reviews said in a starred review, "Schneider takes familiar stereotypes and infuses them with plenty of depth. Here are teens who could easily trade barbs and double entendres with the characters that fill John Green's novels." Funny, smart, and including everything from flash mobs to blanket forts to a poodle who just might be the reincarnation of Jay Gatsby, The Beginning of Everything is a refreshing contemporary twist on the classic coming-of-age novel—a heart-wrenching story about how difficult it is to play the part that people expect, and how new beginnings can stem from abrupt and tragic endings.

OCT. 27, 2012 and there it is..... the cover.Very nice. pretty cool."Oscar Wilde once said that to live is the rarest thing in the world, because most people just exist, and that's all. I don't know if he's right, but I do know that I spent a long time existing, and now I intend to live." - Ezra FaulknerWow. So this book surprised me. I REALLY, really enjoyed Robyn Schneider's writing. She really knows how to create really realistic, witty, amazing characters. I definitely related to most of them and loved all of the Harry Potter and Doctor Who references. If I
I was really hoping to give this book five stars... but I just couldn't. The beginning of the book was amazing. Full of humor and high school problems everyone faces. Then in the middle of the book went the other direction and wasn't that exciting anymore (but I it had hope in this book... until the end). The end of the book broke my heart. I was hoping it would leave me breathless or happy at least. Instead it sort of left me hanging with a hole in my heart. I was really hoping that
I guess Im a sucker for happy endings. I like it when life works out in a neat little package wrapped in red ribbon and blue paper, and I find the warm, gooey center filled with sugar and jam. But sometimes life kicks you in the ass, staples your forehead to the living room carpet, and then swipes your lunch money.While it would have been easy to call this novel cheesy, and then add a bit of sap and honey for good measure, I dont feel as though that truly sums up THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING. Of

You have this maddening little smile sometimes, like you've just thought of something incredibly witty but are afraid to say it in case no one gets the joke.Severed Heads, Broken Hearts (or The Beginning of Everything) was one of my most highly anticipated novels of 2013. So when going into this, I had high expectations. And for what seems
4 starsI really, genuinely enjoyed this. I had so much fun reading it, and there were times when I was desperate to keep going even though I knew I needed to get back to my school work. I absolutely loved Ezra (he has a great name too). His character arc and development is everything. He's just a really good guy, funny too. I laughed at his jokes a lot. I also liked that the book was about him, and his journey, instead of his and Cassidy's (even though I did like them together). I also really
I picked up this book solely off of my love for Robyn Schneider's latest novel, Extraordinary Means, aching to see if her other works were just as good. Unfortunately, The Beginning of Everything failed to impress me, and I had to force myself to finish it. What started off, at the very least, as an intriguing premise, quickly turns into a tedious and unimaginitive story that is laughably predictable. Ezra is in the center of the school's spotlight when a car crash leaves him suffering from a
