I decided to buy this book because a) I picked it up and it was so cute and small and paperbackish that I couldn’t resist. b) I had previously seen this:



What did you think of that? It sound interesting eh? Well if you’re anything like me I’m here to tell you that that is not what this book is about.

Oh yeah sure, there is lots of running around through forests and nearly starving to death. But the underlying theme is very inappropriate. I don’t want to give anything away, but as I was reading the last pages of this book I was actually saying out loud, “This is wrong. This is wrong.” It just left me with a bad taste in my mouth and a pit where my stomach once was.

Don’t get me wrong. The writing is incredible, Ms. Rosoff has no lack of writing skill, but the story left me sick to my stomach. Be warned of it’s inappropriate nature and minor swearing.

So I wouldn’t recommend this book, but if you read it… I won’t think badly of you.
