A review by 4saradouglas
Torn Away by Jennifer Brown

4.0

I don't think I liked this one quite as much as everyone else, but I did end up enjoying it in the end. It took me awhile to figure out where the book was going, and in a funny way my reaction is precisely what the book is about. I kept thinking, the tornado hit in the first three chapters... what else is there to talk about? What's the point of this book? That's exactly what this book was about... what happens after disaster strikes. It got long at times and it was hard to stay motivated to read, but I did end up liking it and cried at the end. I also enjoyed the note at the end where the author described how Joplin inspired this book.
