I cry EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's just so sad!!<br /><br />Yes, I totally know what you mean about the plaster thing - it's just little details like that which are just genius!<br /><br />Brilliant review :)Catherine@thebookparadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045524406179794640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086134026437451311.post-79673898228264851352012-11-29T20:55:59.360+00:002012-11-29T20:55:59.360+00:00Pity it didn't totally impress you, I hope you...Pity it didn't totally impress you, I hope you like the next few books more though :)<br />I totally agree about the plaster scene, it's so true, it really made me think! Sephy annoyed me a bit, but I liked the way she matured throughout the novel :)<br /><br />Thanks for a great review!Clionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130992935152800696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086134026437451311.post-36576792062365343012012-11-29T12:10:55.950+00:002012-11-29T12:10:55.950+00:00Awwwh, it's a shame the hype ruined the book a...Awwwh, it's a shame the hype ruined the book a bit for you. I hate when that happens! I know what you mean about Sephy (and really, I need to re-read this book soon), but I do believe that the series gets <i>so</i> much better as it goes on. But uhh, don't read it because I said so because if you don't like them, I'll feel bad. lol.<br /><br />But at least you liked it some and gave it a try, at least :) Malorie Blackman is an amazing author, and this series is just the tip of a large iceberg :D<br /><br /><3Faye (Daydreaming_Star)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06492031772343256845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086134026437451311.post-61062834442226799002012-11-29T08:48:36.993+00:002012-11-29T08:48:36.993+00:00I agree with you about the book's reputation l...I agree with you about the book's reputation leading to high expectations. Actually, it's one of the few UKYA books that other adults (offline) mention to me (but their views on it are split). Little M recently read it. She didn't know anything about it really so hers was a 'clean' read. She really got into it, said the same thing as you about the plasters and was a little troubled by the ending.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628601066057750860noreply@blogger.com
