A review by jilly7922
The Invisible Life of Ivan Isaenko by Scott Stambach
5.0
This book is about a seventeen year old boy Ivan who has spent his life in Mazyr Hospital for Gravely Ill Children in Belarus. It is about him surviving living every day the same, until he meets a girl, a fellow patient Polina who unravels Ivan's daily routine.
As you can see I rated this book five stars out of five. And may I take a moment to say how absolutely amazing this book was. It is always great when a book surprises you in it being better than you ever expected. This book, at least in my opinion is similar to "The Fault in Our Stars," by John Green, except that it is better. It was a book that I never wanted to end. I can't tell you how few books that I actually laugh out loud while reading it, and this was one of those books. The sarcastic and humorous tone that this book had made it what it is. This book had many twists and turns and each page was a surprise. It was a book that while reading you felt the whole spectrum of emotions from sadness, to anger, to hopefulness and to humor.
I would like to thank Netgalley, Scott Stambach, and St. Martin's Press for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
