This book is fantastic, and I have so much love for it. Ellen Hopkins has always been one of my favorite authors, and this book (almost) never disappointed me.
Above all rating:
I am giving this book a 4.75 since it was nearly perfect, but something could Stand to be a little better ( THE ENDING), but like most Ellen Hopkins I hope nothing but the best for this cast and hope most of them are doing great.
1) Characters
The characters seemed so real as if they were just people who were living inside the pages of this book. Almost like if though magic. The story begins to read itself to you, and you are watching these people going about their daily lives.
2) Story Line
The way love presented in this book is so real, the one thing I have always hated in literature is how love has it seems magic and always either positive or evil. But this book shows it can be both how you can love someone with your whole heart and they use and change that love to be something else. Best seen with how both characters have to deal with loving a man who never seems to be able to look past himself.
3) Villian
Jason/ Mark is one of the Scariest villains I have read about in the last few years. I am a big fantasy reader, so most of the villains I have come across have been blown way out of portions, so to see a villain that is real and one that people have to face so often scares me more than any dark wizard or evil prince.
4) The Ending
I both love and hate this ending for many reasons, but the one that sticks out the most is also to the most Conflicting. This choice to end on the Journey was a sweet and amazing one since the journey has played a small part in telling the story. But I am not going to lie and say was not hopping for a magical happily ever after ending, where Casey and Monica move to San Francisco and live with Maya and Tati. Also, WIth Jason/Mark never Captured, and I live to think this cast is still living on even though the book is over, so does that me he keeps living on and is now out to hurt ever more people?
