Comment
Add a CommentI completely disagree with Baty. I thought the story was AMAZING and REALLY REALISTIC. The characters were extremely ‘believable’. This novel is really INSPIRING and I don’t see how anyone could say that the narrator was not intelligent because I thought that the way Cynnie (the narrator) was made the novel even more realistic. The book was REALLY REALLY great and I recommend it.
This book really fell flat for me. I had aleady read The Day I Killed James by this auther, and I had really liked the characters, writing style, and plot line. I was hoping for something as well written, but was dissapointed. The main character's voice wasn't very intelegent or articulate, and the writing style was that of a 12 year old. I mean, I know it was from a 13 year old's voice, but I remember being alot better worded that this girl. I just really didn't like it, and skimmed through most of it.
