TEEN OVERVIEW: Despite being a short novel physically and a short story, Snapshot is by no accounts a novel to laugh at or pass over because as small and short as the book may seem it packs a punch only few authors are capable of delivering with such few words. Whatever Snapshot lacks in size, it makes up for it many times over in the quality and the lasting effect the story has on the reader.

However the same intricacy which at times made the novel such a breathtaking read, was also ironically it’s downfall at times, due to the length of time the plot took to develop and mature. Overall a great read, however long it may have been at times. Continue reading New York 2140
