kateleereads 's review for:
The Farm
by Emily McKay
Me:(on my blog:mybookliferead.blogspot.com) Vampires. Ticks. Suspense. That's what I was thinking when I saw this at a book festival and was instantly hooked. I am not a person for the dystopian craze that is going around, but this is a really different take on the whole thing. It is not sparkling vampires falling in love with people they want to drink from, but a surprisingly real and touching story.
Lily is the usual sacrificial main character; it was her sister Mel that really interested me. The book was told from three POVs. Carter's, Lily's and Mel's. But the idea of a girl having autism in a situation like this was so different and refreshing. Carter, on the other hand, annoyed me. He was, in a way, a love interest, but that never developed. He also had too many conflicting emotions, making it hard for him to be believable.
The ending was so perfect and so bad in many ways. But in a general view, I think that it was a really nice read that I would pick up again.
