kireem 's review for:
The Forest of Hands and Teeth
by Carrie Ryan
I was really excited when I got this book. I heard a lot of good things about it. It started off wonderful, and I got completely dragged into it. Mary lives in a village past the Forest of Hands and Teeth, where the Unconsecrated reside. After her mother is bitten by one of the Unconsecrated, Mary joins the ranks of the Sisters. However, one day the fence that separates the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth breaks and the Unconsecrated pours in. Most people climb into the nests that are high in the tree in hope that they will be safe. However, most people die and Mary, Harry (her betrothed), Travis (her love), Cass (Travis's betrothed), her brother Jed, and his wife head through the Forest in hope of escaping safely.
Every page was packed with suspense and I could hardly put it down. However, what I disliked about the book is that the author killed practically all the characters off except for Mary and the guy at the lighthouse at the end of the book. Throughout the book you get to know Travis and Jed and the others a lot, but in the end they all die. It's kind of depressing when the author gives you the feeling that Mary and the man are the last humans on Earth in a land full of Unconsecrated people. When I finally finished the book, I felt like the ending was poorly written. Overall the book was nicely written, but the ending brought down the final result quite a bit.
