One word: Amazing!I really loved this book! I have been reading non-stop as of late (thanks to my Nook) and I have read book after book that has been sub-par but this one more than makes up for them. If I have to read another 10 half-misses to read another book of this caliber: bring it on.This feel...

This is a fast post-apocalyptic tale with a dynamite heroine. There is no explanation for how the world got the way that we find it at the start of Blood Red Road, it's obvious that it has been this way for some time. Some people commented that they found the language off-putting and difficult to re...

This book took a little while to get into because of the style in which it was written. Luckily, I had read The Knife of Never Letting Go shortly before so I was used to a different sort of writing style and language, but I wasn't used to having no speech marks. It was very strange at first, but I g...

When I opened this book and saw there were no quotation marks (I mean "", not periods or commas), I was very concerned. No quotation marks remind me of Cormac McCarthy, who drives me nuts. But the book was very intense. I read it in one sitting!The only thing I would change is the relationship betwe...

This book is one long adrenaline rush. It starts when 4 horsemen appear and kidnap 18-year-old Saba's twin brother Lugh and murder her father. Saba immediately decides to head out to find her brother and rescue him. She is joined by her equally stubborn 9-year-old sister Emmi. Their world is some so...

So, wow, what a page turner this was. The romance felt a little forced and contrived, but I cannot pass up a kick butt protagonist who takes what she wants. I am definitely in the boat for the rest of the series because the world -- well, I have bought into it and I need to see what happens to my "f...

Actual rating 2.5 stars For me, one of the most important things while reading a book is that I have to like the main character. In this case I didn’t like the main character Saba, so that’s why I didn’t enjoy Blood Red Road. Of course liking someone, even someone fictional is entirely personal, so ...

Saba and her family live in a desolate wasteland and when her brother goes missing, she goes on a quest to find him. Along the way, she gains sidekicks (whether she wants to or not) and sees that there is, in fact, “civilization” outside of her home. Holy wow, yall. Saba is one bad mother —-! With t...

The plot's good and I like the characters, but the grammar and spelling were really difficult for me to get past. I know why the lack of grammar and spelling was used. Just bothered me. Read my full review here: http://courtreadsandreviews.blogspot.ca/2012/05/review-blood-red-road.html

Blood Red Road was a book that greatly surprised me. I wasn't expecting to fall in love but, without warning, I was sucked in to Saba's world. All that hype that you saw when this book first came out? Completely and utterly spot on. I absolutely adored this story. Saba is a tough character to love...
