seebs 's review for:
Code Name Verity
by Elizabeth Wein
Very rarely will a book suck me in so deeply that I weep with the characters, feel their emotions so strongly that I must "awaken" myself when I walk away from the book to remind myself I was in a fictional world.
This book did just that.
The first half was the telling of one prisoner of war's confession, her writing it out and the reader hearing the story of her life & duties prior to capture intertwined with the life during capture.
Then, it shifts, to the story, again written out intertwining the past and current time, of her colleague and best friend. This second part deepens the original story -- giving you a better insight into the first girl.
It's truly masterfully done.
