Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson
4.0
Review from Much Loved Books Review-Ultraviolet
I have picked Ultraviolet up a few times in my local shops and read the back but didn't find it interesting enough to want to buy it.
I will raise my hand and say I was very mistaken.
After we get past the first few paragraphs I found myself really interested in Alison and how she sees/hears things in colours. It was fascinating to see how she describes numbers, letters, names, sounds although I probably wouldn't want it myself.
I really love how R.J.Anderson has based her book around a subject I have never heard of, and as soon as the medical name was given Synesthesia I googled it's meaning straight away.
I felt sorry for Allison, she never knew what was wrong with her for a long time and was told from a young age not to mention it to anybody or talk about it at all, and she has gone through her life hiding part of who she is.
R. J. Anderson has built a world around one medical word and it's easy to fall straight into it and feel the ups and downs of Alison's life. When she finally gets her diagnosis you are happy that Alison has the relief needed to know she isn't insane and that there really is something wrong with her.
Although Alison doesn't get her big Happy Ever After, I really liked how it ended.
