The Dancer In The Painted Mask

by Rod Vick

'Norms' like 15-year-old Wynn Jameson
don't stand a chance against the
super-clone 'Doppels' that dominate
competitive Irish dance in 2112 Chicago. But
when Wynn rescues a Doppel scheduled for
termination, she discovers new hope and
new friends--as well as the truth behind a
30-year-old mystery...and the powerful
people who will do anything to cover it up.

I thought this book would be right up my alley- Irish dance + dystopia + Rod Vock- what could be better? Quite honestly, I found it much weaker than the Kaylee O'Shay books and Rod Vick's other books. It was a good quick read, but his writing is much better in his other books. I thought the story moved too fast and was too disturbing in some parts- and I got through the graphic images in The Hunger Games and To Kill A Mockingbird much easier, I'm not squeamish. if you are an Irish dancer or read Kaylee O'Shay, I recommend this; it's a nice story, but not his best work. I found the excerpt at the end for his next book, The Haunted Island Feis, to be much more interesting. Maybe he'll make a comeback with that one.
