senmeow 's review for:
Tell the Wolves I'm Home
by Carol Rifka Brunt
[Note: I seem to be one of the few people that don't love this book.]
--
This is a book about a young adult, but probably not a book for young adults.
--
I hated the narrator's personality and sometimes even found it contradictory. She can't stand up for herself or express her opinion, but then halfway through the book, she finds some guts somewhere and decides that yes, she can speak her mind. I did not follow how that even happened; there was supposed to be a correlation, somewhere, maybe, probably but I didn't see it.
Finn and Toby were the most likable characters, but that isn't saying much, because they were supposed to be the ones with likable personalities.
The narrator's sister was really unbelievable; her personality was classic (and by classic, I mean terrible), and her outburst at the end left me disbelieving every single word.
--
To be honest, I only rated this book a three because of it's decent ending and it's not-atrocious writing.
--
(I'm sure this book is great if you like chapters that end with sentences meant to be symbolic or that imply some hidden meaning.)
(One more bone to pick, but with these kinds of books in general: in reality, dreams do not symbolically match what people are going through {not always and if so, it's not usually obvious} so seeing that kind of thing in the book just made me wonder if it could get any more unoriginal.)
