Hmm. I’m intrigued, but kind of concerned about the mental health issues.

I was just looking at this book last night, wondering if I should pick it up and try reading it. I decided that I’d get it through the library, rather than buying it.

It seemed interesting, and the name keeps coming up, so there’s got to be something good going on.

Unusual review, I love it! By the way, I reviewed it! Add me onto the list!*

*Disclaimer: You don’t actually have to add me to the list as you don’t even know me…

I just reviewed Revolution today! I agree with your assessment, except for me the big, glaring issue was the way in which Andi learned what she needed to from Alex. I’m being deliberately vague so as to avoid spoilers!

I thought about buying this book but wasn’t sure since I haven’t read anything by Donnelly. Glad to hear it was a great read. I’ll put it near the top of my tbr pile.

In reply to Jenny. I have Possession on my shelf but haven't read it yet; I think the teeny tiny font is scaring me away. And as for plays, I haven't really read any since freshman year of college, but I'm not morally opposed to it, either. I'll have to check it out!

In reply to Jenny.

also, this idea that the person should be sacrificed so society can have the art. That’s what I really hate about it: you’re saying give up (to an extent) on the person because society so needs to product of the thing that destroys that person’s life.

I mean, van gogh did some pretty amazing stuff, but even if we accepted the premise that he couldn’t have done it without the crazy, would it be worth his life?

In reply to Amused. It's really good! Probably the most solid stress-purchase of the three I got. :D

In reply to Vishy. It is so wonderful! I work really close to one branch of the library, so I can order my holds to it and just pick them up straight after work.

In reply to Care. Thanks! I love it! I have already memorized my library card number!
