biblioemily 's review for:

Angel of Greenwood by Randi Pink

3.0

---

I struggled with this one because the subject matter is incredibly important and the book does a good job of incorporating the history of this tragic event. However, the writing style is just off. It reads like a very old-fashioned book, which might have been intentional to match the time period (though I would say it reads more like early 1900s than the 20s), but it just didn't feel like a natural way any teen would speak. I didn't really feel terribly connected to any of the characters, and Angel just seemed too good to be true.
