A review by achillesheeled
The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth
3.0
...just the insect itself, trapped, waiting. But even if the amber could somehow be melted, and it could be freed, physically unharmed, how could it be expected to live in this new world without its past, without everything it knew from the world before, from its place in it, tripping it up again and again?
my rating is more of a 3.5.
this book has a really gorgeous writing style that lends itself well to creating the imagery necessary to become involved in the story. i really did enjoy the story, though at some points i felt it could get a tiny bit repetitive. cameron's narrative is very enjoyable as well.
however: the book could have been shorter. by like, a lot. the pacing felt very off at some points... i don't see why the last part of the book couldn't have been moved up 60 or so pages and it itself extended by about 30. it would have also allowed for the characters in the last part to be a bit more developed.
