| My mother was a librarian when I was growing up, and she recommedned this book for me, knowing about my taste for strong science fiction stories. This book changed the way i looked at books and stories. No doubt, it was one of the darkest, most horrifying tales I had yet read, but it hit me like a brick wall. Well-written and more carefully paced than other YA fiction, this book is a wonderful slow-burn that takes the reader into the character's thoghts, hopes, and fears. A powerful and engaging read for the forward thinking YA reader. |
