kiwikathleen 's review for:
The List
by Patricia Forde
I like the concept - control the people by limiting the vocabulary they're allowed to use. It's been done, to a certain degree, in history - where the rich / politically powerful / religious controllers have a language they converse in that is exclusively theirs - though not to the extreme that exists in the world of this book. Imagine having only 300 words that you can use, ever! I like the way that is portrayed in this book.
There are a number of things that I didn't like in this book, but I might be giving some spoilers if I talk about them so I'll just leave it there. I'll be happy to recommend the book to readers aged from 10 to 14 who aren't yet reading with a critical mind. It has adventure, a possible love-interest, and moral dilemmas - that makes for a good read.
