Laura P. (hemmputnam) reviewed on 7/18/2013 + 1115 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

The heroine in this book "tries selflessness on for size, and then she tries bravery, but at the end, it's what she does out of love that's more important than any virtue."

This is my kind of dystopian fiction where the sacrifices have meaning, things can be very dark but there is the possibility of hope, and the girl can both take care of herself and lean on another from time to time. I would hesitate to recommend it to sensitive young readers, but anyone who enjoyed Hunger Games will be fine with this. I was surprised to find that the last 70 pages of my copy were "bonus materials" (wait - you mean the story is already over?) but I did enjoy them.
