I was a little hesitant to try this one for two reasons, even though I loved the sound of it. One, Young Adult Mystery stories are very hit or miss with me. I don 't like it when I know who the bad guy is before the main character does; it takes all the fun out of it in my opinion. Two, I hate it when synopsis are written in the first person.

As a freshman in highschool, I had never heard of Jane Harper, or read any of her books before this. My English teacher challenged me to pick up a book and read it. Instantly, the cover caught my eye. The book looked like a very compelling novel, so I decided to read it. It just came out in September of 2016, so it is a very new book.
Barbara Kingsolver does a wonderful job with incorporating literary devices into her novel. These literary devices help the reader to experience the words written on the page and it allows the reader to think that they are actually living the story. One major literary device that Kingsolver uses throughout the book to show her ideas to the reader is imagery. “Her dark hair is tied in a ragged lace handkerchief, and her curved jawbone is lit with large, false-pearl earrings, as if these headlamps from another world might show the way.” (pg 5) When I hear these words, I am able to paint a picture inside of my head of Orleana Price.
There are outlaws trying to kill everyone they come across, and a rancher trying to start a war with Chet by running his herd on Chet's land. Fans of the book liked that the book is not just simply a romance novel masquerading as a western novel. Fans love the way Richards blends romance, drama, history, and humor all into a nice package that keeps readers turning the pages long into the wee hours of the night. Plenty of entertainment and action; giving readers a taste of what it was like to live in those times out on the frontier.
The book has many characters with very different personalities. The book has unexpected twists and turns throughout it. The novel involves kidnappers, a dragon and (of course) the 5 children from Miami that know nothing about what they’re getting into. This book started out as, a fairly normal story.
If you are not into cars, you can read the novel for the romance aspect that Denny and Eve’s love story provides. If you are not a fan of romance, you can read the novel for the crime aspect that Denny’s trial provides. This novel is for pretty much
The author, Sarah B. Pomeroy, writes this book in a style that resembles a textbook with many examples. She structures it in a timeline chronologically telling the events and breaking up the subject matter. The book lacked personality, although she had strong opinions that came through when writing the book, the style of writing lacked personality and was hard to read at times. The subject matter I found very interesting, considering it correlated with my class currently. At times, while I read this book, I found myself angry with men because of their brutal and thoughtfulness of women.
This book was interesting for me because it allowed me to relate to a character. I love reading novels that not only allow me to feel a connection with a character, but allow me to relate to their personality or
The way the stories are written is almost conversational, as if she were telling them directly to you. This technique draws you in and makes you want to keep reading
The detailed descriptions he gives lets the reader really feel like they are right there with the characters. Right from the beginning he hooks the reader with a scene that is dark and damp. Opening with a character so lost in his own agony and grief, one finds themselves both repelled and drawn to him. Only enough information is given to draw the reader further into the pages of this book. There is definitely already some back story going on with many of the characters to which Cole gives clues here and there.
It 's a jaw-dropping book that will leave you wanting more as the author Laurie writes in a crisp and clear way describing the young girl Melinda’s horrific story and how it unfolds. The author 's tone gives off the vibe of a young frighted girl which I find really enhances this sad, but exhilarating story. This story taught me to always speak up for myself and to never let anyone take advantage of me. I would recommend this novel because it is extremely detailed, painting vivid pictures in your mind that really help to magnify and
