a story that keeps you on your toes. reading this for the second time made me realize quite a few details that i hadn't noticed before.
the characters were great - diverse without feeling like some sort of caricature. i loved red and her attitude, loved the dynamic between her and adam (their conversations and banter were so painfully real for siblings) and her whole personality in general. her family was nice, and the two kids, too.
henry is just so good at writing children. they seem almost lovable when she writes them.
and i liked the story. sometimes the inevitable encounters with soldiers and so forth felt a little forced and unrealistic, maybe even a bit repetitive (but that might also just be because of my already having read the book once).
one of the major plot twists (
(
but whatever, it's fine. great book, great characters, great story.

4.0
I should note a well balanced mix of Before and After chapters. Although the ending was rather abrupt. At one moment I thought that the author would give an open ending, without Red getting to the cabin. And that would have enrage me as a reader, but I would understand it.
And one final thing. You're a gal walking through the woods across the country, trying to avoid people. Would you wear a RED HOODIE? Neither would I.
But in general I enjoyed this book quite a lot.
