This book is a masterpiece. Written in a blunt and embellished manner, “Flawed” by Cecelia Ahern is a book that exposes the ugliness of a society which idolizes and demands perfection from its people. Its a society where one morally incorrect decision lands people the title “flawed.”

Ahern’s writing style is the way she describes her characters. In the beginning of the story, Celestine is amused by the fact that her family is intimidated by Judge Crevan Judge Crevan is one of the most respected judges of the Guild. Since Celestine is dating Crevan’s son, Art, she has been able to see the side of Judge Crevan that no one else sees However, when Celestine doesn’t comply with his demands and ends up on his wrong side, she sees the part of him that causes people to fear him. It’s only then that Celestine realizes that all the things that make Crevan who he is, is what she’s frightened of the most.

MY THOUGHTS

What I think Cecelia Ahern realized is that the best way to create a villain in a story like this is to show that he’s capable of being more than a ruthless overlord. She shows us that creating a villainous character who characters in the novel and readers alike fear doesn’t only involve making all his actions selfish and ghastly. Celestine is devastated by the fact that for the rest of her life she will have to walk around with burns on her body for standing up for what she believes is logically and morally correct but society is enamored by this fact. Her attorney tells her that the media and businesses see her as a way of entering a new market. Since Celestine represents change in a system that is – ironically – flawed, people her age will be looking up to her as a role model. The story talks blatantly about how media and society respond to a scandal or fad.

The book is a stark example of the fact that human beings are more than just good or evil.

Overall, “Flawed” by Cecelia Ahern is a book that spoke about so many things that are flawed within our society. It’s a novel that urges readers to see more than what’s laid out before them, to stand up for the things that we believe in and to defend those beliefs. It really is a work of art and I hope that the rumors about it being made into a movie are true.

Rating: 4.5/5
