A review by thechaosofcheshirebelle
The Burning by Laura Bates

3.0

The Burning is all about what is wrong with the internet and kids today. It's about slut shaming, body issues and cyber bullying. It kinda hits home too, with the bullying and wanting to dissapear at high school. I know what this book was trying to do, but the execution was not what I expected it to be. This could have been better, more focussed on one topic instead of exploring like all the issues out there with young girls. I do think this book is needed in today's society. It got me thinking, and I hope it will get other people thinking. I hope people who are going through the same kind of sht can relate. And I hope, that no one has to relate to this. Because this is terrible to have to go through, terrible to feel the need to live like this. This book will open a lot of eyes for readers all in the world. I did like the storyline woven through this one about the witches, that is something in history that always fascinated me.
