But I know what you mean about the writing. I can't wait to finish it, to see how it ends!<br />Incredible review; if I wasn't already reading/owning it, I'd run to my nearest bookshop to buy it! :)TheBookAddictedGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223595950718570997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-39733050128171257052011-05-21T05:01:17.950-05:002011-05-21T05:01:17.950-05:00Oh wow!

I haven't read the book yet, but I wonder if it was intentional on the author's part to make them confusing since Lina is in so out of place in that camp?<br /><br />I remember early review for this one really had me wanting to read it, but then I kind of forgot about it. Glad to have your review as a reminder.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-49877503197923357902011-05-19T13:13:58.749-05:002011-05-19T13:13:58.749-05:00LOVED this book!

I recently had a teen talk to me about this book. She echoed a lot of what you loved the book too. It's definitely in my pile of books to read. Did you need something "light" to read after you finished the book?Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-46347458174716150762011-05-19T10:10:53.285-05:002011-05-19T10:10:53.285-05:00This is a beautiful review Alison, you do such a g...This is a beautiful review Alison, you do such a great job of explaining your reaction without giving away too much of the book and I get such a good feel of whether or not a book is for me.
