“SilverStream” is Jillian Sullivan’s 161 page bore-fest. The book is about a girl's mother being kidnapped and taken to a work camp. The girl sneaks into the camp in an attempt to save her mother. Her story elicits boredom, annoyance, and is agonising to read.
If I could leave a zero star review I would. The books characters seem to have multiple personalitys. The books plot seems to change by the page. The only reason I read the book was for school, even then I barley took in what I read.
If you are think about reading this book DON'T! It is a horrible book that I would only recommend to someone for some kind of sick joke. So if you want to save your sanity, don't read this book.

There is plot. But I don't know what is the ending. The whole government with its regime and Lorna trying to save her mother and then, what?
