The Cipher by Kathe Koja

5.0

Kathe Koja is that special kind of author that makes me ask, where have you been all my life?

Her writing has a hectic momentum that launches you, screaming, to the hard concrete of The Cipher's conclusion. There is a methhead flair to the imagery in this book that I crave, yet can rarely find. It's poetry of the most twisted, irreverent bent. The premise is great, and where the plot leads us is even better.

If you haven't read this yet, what're you doing?
