This review is on my blog: http://bookchick2013.blogspot.com/2014/01/review-burned-burned-1-by-ellen-hopkins.html
This book is heart wrenching... with every turn of a page your feelings will take you on a roller coaster of love, sadness, happiness, death and more. I just can't explain the intense feelings that come out in this book.
This book left me heartbroken. It is very rare to find a book that can bring out such emotions, and this one did. It started on a sad note and ended on a sad note, but I think that made the writing that much stronger. This is the first Ellen Hopkins book I've read, and I must say I am a little disappointed. I've heard great things about her books and expected a little more out of this book, although it was written in a fantastic way. I feel disappointed because anyone can make anyone sad in a book; I thought maybe this book would be the rare one that made you happy.
The one thing I didn't like about this book was the feeling it gave me. When I read about Pattyn in her house, it seemed really awkward as if I was in the 1970s or something. It felt very western but once she was in school or with her Aunt, then it was as if she was in a normal time.
The ending of this book was fantastic. I was close to tears for the pain I felt for Pattyn and her sisters as well as her mother.
I recommend this book to readers who enjoy emotional and strong books.

Officially my new all time favorite book. Loved the writing style. Beautifully written. I have so much love for this book and passionately believe that everyone should read it. Addresses so many important topics and definitely needed to read this. It has changed my perspective on life and I’m not sure when I’ll stop thinking about this book.
Also I absolutely loveddddd Aunt Jeannette. Her character is someone that I aspire to be.
Crying.

I'M STILL NOT OKAY BUT...
Oh my gosh what an emotional rollercoaster. I've had this book for a while now and I've been wanting to read it, but after reading the synopsis of the book I HAD to pick it up right then and there.
I've read one of Ellen Hopkins' other books before (Crank) so I was already familiar with the style and format of her books. I really love the way the story is written as poems; it makes the story more different and interesting to read. Burned was just as tough to read as Crank, but both were really enlightening and powerful. If you're looking for a quick read that really hits you, pick this one up.
