3.5 stars. When I first tried to read Blood Red Road the grammar police in me would not let me enjoy it. It's written in a dialect that uses all sorts of improper speech and there are no quotation marks. So I decided to put it down and had even opened Goodreads to state that I just couldn't read it ...
Blood Red Road, by Moira Young Not as deep nor as touching as Hunger Games, but pretty exciting, and definitely on the better side of most of today's young adult distopian fictions. I enjoyed reading it, though it is rather lightweight, and I am planning to read the sequel. In other words, it's a ...
See more of my reviews on The YA Kitten! To compare any post-apocalyptic/dystopian novel to The Hunger Games and call it better than that bestselling series is the kiss of death. Putting that claim on the paperback cover? Eek. I picked up Blood Red Road a couple of months ago solely because the ja...
4.5 starsI really enjoyed this and I knew I would, it just took me a while to get used to the writing style but when I did, I raced through it.This is one hell of an adventure!Watching Saba grow as a person was interesting. Jack, the cheeky chap, was fun and I loved his interactions with Saba and th...
I first picked up Blood Red Road last year (shortly after it was first published), got about 20 pages in and thought it wasn’t for me. The shortage of punctuation, the slightly jarring dialect in which the book is written and the laconic first person narrative sent me running back into the comfortin...
3.5 starsThis was a really interesting read. I loved the world that Moira Young created and I want to know more about it, like what happened that set the world back? I loved seeing the character of Saba evolve from a follower to a leader. It was nicely done. (Side note, I didn't really like the cage...
Wow! I was blown away by Blood Red Road. (Also known simply as Dust Lands in my head. Look at the giant font for the series' title in comparison to the actual title!) Not only did I find the novel to indeed be better than The Hunger Games, I also would rank the book as one of the better dystopians a...
4.5/5 stars. Really loved this a lot! Not a full five stars because it took me a little while to get into the authors writing style, but once it got going, it never stopped!!

I couldn't put this book down, literally, I took it with me to the sauna – the glue melted and it fell apart slightly, then I took it to the jacuzzi where it got wet, and then it got squashed by my bike chain which I stuffed into my backpack. In short – it got quite of a beating, just like the heroi...
