A friend of mine recommended it, and we generally have the same taste for darker, evocative stories. (I'm 26) I really felt the book conveyed what it intended to convey and in a manner that was striking enough to make it's message palpable.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204675992532323742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787660033880172725.post-1687909315216214912010-04-05T23:07:48.010-03:002010-04-05T23:07:48.010-03:00I read this last year (before starting my blog) bu...I read this last year (before starting my blog) but I looked back at my notes and I had the same reaction as you did (I'm 32) - that I probably would've enjoyed it much better if I read it has a teen. These were my notes in summary:<br /><br />* I have mixed feelings about this - well, it is very engaging, I was going to read a couple of chapters before going to bed, but ended up reading the whole book instead (fast read) as I really want to find out what happened (suspenseful)<br /><br />* not sure about the end - regarding clay and another female character (don't want to put spoiler here)<br /><br />* I think I would've liked this book more had I read it as a teen. Now I just felt frustrated by the choice she made -- but then I remember when we were that age, something that seemed trivial now could be a big deal back then, so I'd still encourage YA to read it - knowing that there are consequences for your actionschrista @ mental foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272799752169958460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787660033880172725.post-33630330908900116342010-04-02T19:55:31.554-03:002010-04-02T19:55:31.554-03:00This is the second review I've read of this no...This is the second review I've read of this novel today -- the other reviewer also said she wouldn't feel comfortable recommending this to a teenager. I'm not sure how I'd feel about this book. I do enjoy YA though.

Pretty sad really, since there are so many good YA books, and when I was a teen, I was reading more mature lit. So I never really got to taste that genre. But then that genre just recently sprouted with so many authors so can't blame.<br /><br />Thanks for the honest review! You taste sounds a lot like mine.Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787660033880172725.post-79399117233585136022010-04-02T09:13:45.144-03:002010-04-02T09:13:45.144-03:00Thank you for your refreshing honest review.
