Reviews

[Geoff Sebesta · Rating 1 out of 5]

I read this book when it was new and was disappointed by it. I can't say that I remember anything about it at all, but when it was new I was thirteen, and I can't really replicate that headspace any more either. So basically I would not recommend this book for a thirteen-year-old, though it boggles the imagination to think that a thirteen-year-old would read this review and be swayed by it. Anyway, if it happens, dear hypothetical teenager, be warned. Though of what I can't say.

Overly violent, motivations/actions are unclear or driven by plot not character, writing could be better.
