I avoided reading this book for a very long time because I assumed it was just another addition to the YA craze that has been sweeping the nation ever since Twilight hit the stands. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a good YA novel every now and again, but this one reminded me a bit too much of the Hunger Games, and I thought, "Nope. Not going to give that one a chance."

All I can say is that I am REALLY, REALLY glad that I decided against that foolish decision. I really loved this book. I devoured it in just a couple of days. And while there are some vaguely Hunger Games-like qualities to the book, it really is its own, unique story.

So, if you are holding out on reading this book because you think it is just another piece of YA trash or because you feel it is going to be too similar to something you've already read, please give it a chance. It really, truly is a great book. I went out and bought the second and third ones immediately.
