My original review: http://pineforapples.blogspot.com/2011/12/all-these-things-ive-done.htmlAnya is a headstrong girl who is mature for her age, and very practical.Though it made her seem weak willed, or like a push over at times, her ability to keep valuable information to herself has saved her man...
This book gives us a dystopian world in which I would not do well. Okay, granted, I have not come across a dystopian world in which I would do well, but this was one that I could see happening all to easily. It is a world suppressed by not just by the government, but by the lack of courage coming f...

Can you imagine a world where chocolate and caffeine are illegal, yet alcohol is perfectly legal even for children? I can't.

I'm not sure I'm satisfied with the ending, but there's going to be a sequel and at least it didn't have a cl...

From things on rations to being illegal because of scarcity (like paper. It's illegal to have it without a pe...
