I'm going to be honest here. This book is not for everyone. And I'm not even sure it was for me. It's dark, gritty, brutal, and not easy on people. Let me say this, if you like a sweet romance, avoid this book. There is a romance. It can be seen as sweet, I suppose. But there is so much to this book...

This is one of those rare occasions when the Epilogue not only works brilliantly but adds a whole new dimension to the book which made me want to read it all over again.There's a lot going on beneath the surface.

I was actually sucked in by the telling, horrified and apprehensive of what would happen t...

3.5 - I liked this book a lot - it was different then I thought it would be and was satisfied with the story and the ending.

I would say 3.5 to 4 can't decide. This book is certainly interesting and poses a lot thing to think about.Andrew is a teenager in a wealthy family in a society where slavery is legal. A lot of the book is about Andrew's life and friends and he revisits the issue of slavery.Andrew's voice sounds muc...

A DISH SERVED COLD is one of those stories that can push buttons with the readers. For me it pushed all the right buttons. At the foundation of this world there's a slavery system that is born from trying to do good but gradually disintegrated into a full-fledged game of corrupt power play. It chall...
