“She loves that writers make words their servants and bend them to their will.”

An interesting, unique story about a girl who spawns clones whenever she bleeds. The clones then try to kill her.

The first section (pre-college) was very interesting! I loved seeing how her family dealt with Molly's condition. The last section (college) was decent; I'm just a bit confused by some of the plot points.

I'm not sure if I'll be picking up the second book but it was certainly worth the read.

What a great, innovative story. I wish it was longer so that I could stay immersed in such a fantastic world.

A 2017 staff favorite recommended by Mark. Check our catalog: https://encore.cooklib.org/iii/encore/search/C__SMurders%20of%20Molly%20Southbourne__Orightresult__U?lang=eng&suite=gold

Short but packed a punch. Excellent world building. Succinct but also very engaging. 

This was definitely an interesting read. The main character Molly, has the ability to multiply when she bleeds. That's right she creates other Mollys. Which would be cool in theory if they didn't try to murder her.

I was sort of expecting this one to be longer when I put it on hold at my library. But was pleasantly surprised by it's length. I think it was just the right amount of story, some writers tend to use a lot of fillers. I like to read between the lines of a book and figure out stuff without a ton of telling.

Az érdekes alaphelyzet bemutatását egy nagyon unalmas céltalan történet követ. Mintha egy lélektani regény szeretett volna lenni, de sajnos ahhoz nagyon nem ért az iro.
