Review: A Short Intro to Every Day
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a very short novella that gives readers a taste of A's life prior to his/her appearance in Every Day, a book I absolutely adore. Six Earlier Days doesn't really follow a sequential order, but instead gives readers glimpses into six other days of A's life. For those who have read Every Day, it's similar to those days that A wakes up away from the girl s/he loves and has to live another person's life, but it's not the long intricate days readers get to know in the full fledged novel, but rather those short ones A talks about, if that makes any sense? The ones where readers get a couple pages, a glimpse really, of the day as A moves through yet another day as someone knew.Really, this novella is a cursory glance at the lives A invades for just a day, allowing the reader to understand how A feels and doesn't want to mess with the person's routine or body. Really, my ramblings don't give it justice. You'll just have to read it. It's short, and not anywhere as detailed as Every Day, so it might not pull you in completely, but if you're intrigued, then Every Day is a MUST READ, because that novel is epic.I personally didn't think this novel gave much insight into A that the novel Every Day didn't already give, but it's a nice jog back into A's world, and I certainly hope there is a sequel to that lovely novel because it was so epic and different, and Levithan certainly did give an opening for a sequel. We shall see.If you haven't read Every Day, I suggest you check out Six Earlier Days just to at least get a taste.
