A review by lyntwhit
Pure by Julianna Baggott

Great book! Zipped through it in a couple of days. Would recommend. Of course with The Hunger Games being so of the moment, I did at times compare and contrast Pure to other dystopian fiction like The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, Aftertime, etc. I found the whole aspect of the people being joined to inanimate and living objects interesting and scary. That was something I hadn't come across before. The dynamic with Partridge and his father reminded me of The Uglies series. Also the "caste" system of the "pures" vs. "wretches" reminded me of The Uglies series as well.
