User’s Reviews
Review “A bold, lovely, and haunting story of loss, hope, and the redeeming power of friendship.” — Lauren Oliver, New York Times bestselling author of Before I Fall★”Extraordinary and unforgettable.” — Booklist (starred review)★”It’s another standout from Silvera. Engrossing, contemplative, and as heart-wrenching as the title promises.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)★”Over the course of an eventful day, these thoughtful young men speak honestly and movingly about their fate, their anger at its unfairness, and what it means to be alive, until their budding friendship organically turns into something more.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)★ “Silvera continues to masterfully integrate diversity, disability, and young queer voices into an appealing story with a lot of heart. A must-have for YA shelves.” — School Library Journal (starred review)“Adam Silvera uses his ample skill to force readers to examine how they live life now and how they want to live it. They Both Die at the End is a prime example of his skill at asking the most relevant questions of all of us.” — Teen Vogue“They Both Die at the End is beautiful and charged with emotion, and Silvera’s best work to date.” — Jordan April, The River’s End Bookstore, for the Autumn 2017 Teen Indie Next List“Silvera not only poignantly captures the raw emotion of facing your own morality, but creates such relatable and authentic characters you want to follow on their journey. His gorgeous writing and wonderful storytelling will wreck you in the very best possible way.” — Buzzfeed“Themes of friendship, love, loss, and fate combine in this novel that should be read with a box of tissues close at hand.” — Brightly
Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:
⭐ This book is recommended for children starting at age 12. I was highly disappointed in this book with the amount of filthy language in it. My daughter didn’t make it past the second chapter without seeing the F word at least 5 different times along with other foul language. I can’t believe this is recommended for children!
⭐ Yet another emotional rollercoaster by Adam Silvera. Every one of his books is full of emotional turmoil but written in the most beautiful of ways. I know his books are going to hurt, hell the title gives it all away here, but I am still eager to read the story. It is a nod to his writing talent that he makes me okay with being an emotional wreck as I read.This book focused on the idea of what would you do if you knew you were going to die. In this world there is a program called Death Cast that calls up people between midnight and 3 and lets them know that they are going to die that day. Rufus and Mateo both receive the call and need someone to spend their last day with. Neither of them is without people in their lives but because of outside forces they can’t spend their Last Day with those people. They use the Last Friend app and find one another. Throughout their last hours they find a connection in each other and find a way to release their true selves.I adored both Mateo and Rufus. They were these two teens who were dealt a bad hand. Fate had it out for them. Both are trying to find a way to find a reason to live. Mateo lost his mother when she gave birth to him and his dad is in a coma. Rufus survived the accident that killed his family. Both of them are reeling from horrible events and both have lost themselves inside their own fear and tragedy.In one day they find each other and realize that they are not doomed people. Yes, they are going to die but their spirits and souls don’t have to die. Mateo learns how to live without fear and Rufus finds the side of himself that he thought he lost when he lost his family. Both boys find a deeper connection then just friendships in each other.I loved the way life was examined in this novel. The way the idea of living for yourself and finding a way to make life count was talked about. It was a beautiful way of showing that life is never over if you can find the right ways to live it. Rufus and Mateo had only one day but they made it mean something and found love in the process.I also loved the way small other stories were told throughout the novel. These were people that had some contact with Mateo or Rufus. Some was good interactions and some weren’t but in the end it showed how connected everyone is. You don’t realize the impact you have on people you barely interact with on a daily basis. A simple smile or tap on the shoulder could change things. Or it may not change anything but what matters is that no one lives in a vacuum. All lives are connected for better or for worse.I desperately wanted this to end in a way that made me more happy than sad, in the end it gave me hope. Hope that life is always worth living no matter what. Hope shown through these two boys who found a way to make a day matter like a lifetime. Adam Silvera really does know how to write a poignant and meaningful tale.
⭐ The rating and recommended age range for this book is highly miscalculated. Extremely unsettling sexual and vulgar content targeted for kids as young as 12. This needs to be in a 18+ category and NOT targeted for youth reading!
⭐ HORRIBLE content for a middle schooler! Do NOT let your middle schooler read this book!! All the wrong messages
⭐ If I had the option to give minus stars I would. This book is poorly written. The concept was what inspired me to order it. Someone should address the subject, if you knew you would die tomorrow…..what would you do? Like I said, interesting concept. However, this book has one mission that cancels out any other. To make young people think foul language and irresponsible lifestyles are normal. This should not be a book for middle school children. They have enough issues at that age without filling their heads with this garbage.If you want to read it out of curiosity save your money and borrow from the library.Worst book I have picked up in ages. All the glowing reviews are misleading. Always read the bad reviews first. They tend to be the most honest.
⭐ Adam Silvera writing about death. (Dude really knows how to paint a picture of tragedy. Pg- 100.) The words apply to Adam too.My thing.17 Points of View.Definitely my thing.Overall, this book was a great read.My favorite lines.* Stories can make someone immortal as long as someone else is willing to listen.* I think we made his day by not pretending he’s invisible.* Sometimes living is hard and complicated because of fear.* A new memory to laugh over is just as good as reflecting on an old one.* I wasted time and missed fun because I cared about the wrong things.* Affection from millions and intimacy from that one special person are completely different beast.* Entire lives aren’t lessons, but there are lessons in lives.* You may be born into a family, but you walk into friendships.* It’s better to have gotten it right and been happy for one day instead of living a lifetime of wrongs.
⭐ It has been a long time since a book has made me ugly cry. Like truly uncontrollable sobs. This book made me ugly cry twice and sniffle up at least four additional times. If you’re the type to run from anything that makes you feel, I promise you, you won’t want to miss this book.In a world where Death-Cast can call you to inform you that sometime in the next twenty-four hours, you’ll die — Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio get the call. These two teenagers find each other via a Last Friend App, where deckers’ (the dying) can find a friend for their end day. If you had one day to live, what would you do? Mateo and Rufus go on one last big adventure discovering what it means to live, love, and leave no regrets.This was a haunting, emotionally charged, ride. A page-turning easy read about the power of friendship. I couldn’t put it down. Must read.
⭐ I listened to this one as an audio book and I’m very glad I did. The two different voices of Mateo and Rufus came out well.I heard about this book from Little Book Owl on YouTube who loved it so I decided that I’d pick it up too.”You may be born into family, but you walk into friendships. Some you’ll discover you should put behind you. Others are worth every risk.”Reading the title, one would think it would prepare you for what’s going to happen – that they’re both going to die at the end. However you would be sorely mistaken, which is exactly what happened to me. If you decide to read this book, make sure you have a box of tissues with you towards the end.One good thing about They Both Die At The End is that it’s not just the pair of boys finding each other, going for a walk and then oops, you’re dead at the end. There’s more to it than that. Rufus and Mateo do go for a walk, but there’s a party, quite a few life-or-death situations, and love.”I’ve spent years living safely to secure a longer life and look where that’s gotten me. I’m at the finish line but I never run the race.”I will definitely be reading more of Adam Silvera’s books after this one.
⭐ It is not readily apparent, but this book has strong homosexual themes.
⭐ Disclaimer: None, I bought this book on Audible for a book club!Rating: 5/5Genre: YA Contemporary/Sci-FiRecommended Age: 16+ (language, violence, guns, sexual references, death, and living)Pages: 384Author WebsiteAmazon LinkSynopsis: On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They’re going to die today.Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There’s an app for that. It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure—to live a lifetime in a single day.Let’s start off that with a book about the end, I didn’t really expect it to have such a good beginning. I didn’t expect to feel for these characters as much as I did. And even though we know the ending, it still cuts like a hot knife. The writing was absolutely beautiful and even if this was the best book Adam Silvera ever wrote I would read every other book he penned. He’s gained a lifelong fan with this work. The story flowed together very well and the ending, while I have some issues with it, was beautiful as well. The book is a great conversation starter and it presents some amazing characters that are more developed than some of the most recent books I’ve read so far.However, while I like the ending of the book I wish we had some sort of epilogue or final ending from a different POV so that we knew what the rest of the story looked like. I wish we had a final to the finale. I also wish we knew what the ending was to another character in the book and I want to see how all the side characters who didn’t get the call from deathcast handled the deaths. I want to see their happy endings, but I kind of know why I won’t. In life we really don’t get to see happy endings for anyone. Cinderella might have married the prince, but was she truly happy in the end? What constitutes happiness anymore? Is it acceptance of how well your life is compared to others or is it one final day on Earth with someone you love?Verdict: This book makes me feel all the things.
