A review by elanna76
The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day by Christopher Edge

4.0

This short novel triumphantly crosses the line between children', YA and adult literature, placing itself comfortably in the numerous yet selected company of my favourite books. A compelling reading with a powerful ending. I appreciated the treatment of the relationship between the two sisters, two well-rounded and believable characters whose conflict never flattens into tipical clichés of children's and YA literature. I cried my share, I marvelled at the sci-fi element, and I liked a lot the way physics' concepts are introduced, although sometimes I felt the author was stretching and over-simplifying science a bit in order to make the topic palatable to younger readers. I am no scientist myself, however, so I may be wrong. All in all it was a very pleasant read. Now I want to give try to the author's other books.
