A review by carstensena
The Kept by James Scott

4.0

This is about as stark as you can get. I enjoyed reading it -- wonderful writing -- but I can't figure out who I would recommend it to. Despite one young character's coming of age, it is too slow-paced for teens. I can't remember the last book I read in which the characters spoke (aloud) less. But they certainly feel very deeply. Full of powerful visual imagery.
