This is really something. I love how she has put in an actual disorder that people actually suffer from and made it into a story. I loved it. http://basicallybooks1994.blogspot.com/
I realize it's YA nad I love YA but ... Wow I most definitely wasn't the target audience for this one and not just because it's probably written/geared toward tweens and young teens.It was such a *great* premise, and there were some really cool aspects but it just fell short on many levels. Overall...
What a fascinating combination of teenage "problem novel" and fantasy. Lisabeth is struggling with anorexia and is firmly in denial when she is drafted by Death to be the next Famine. Getting into the mind of a young woman who is anorexic was both fascinating and scary. Her inner voice kept telling ...
This was a disappointing read. The characters were one-dimensional, so poorly fleshed out that it was impossible to relate to them or care about them. The main character, Lisa, had no personality outside of anorexia, and while I understand that eating disorders tend to take over the lives and identi...
The pretense interests me deeply. I love psychology which is what interests me about the anorexic part and I I'm also very interested in the whole Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse thing (seven deadly sins, anything like that)but this book showed up as a recommendation for my "no way in HELL" shelf.So...

The premise of this book is what initially caught my attention. Actually, the premise of all the books in this series is what caught my atten...
Ok I didn't love this book but I didn't quite hate it either. I loved the idea of an anorexic girl becoming one of the horsemen of the apocalypse, Famine. You wouldn't expect that now would ya? To me that was a very risky, but unique idea. I didn't quite understand the fact that the author thinks o...
I actually really liked this book. I think the subject of anorexia is one that is very overlooked sometimes. I liked the irony in a girl who was anorexic being in charge of famine. I liked that the other riders, Death, War, and Pestilence, were portrayed in a somewhat different way than you norma...
When I grabbed this book, I expected it to be fantastic but it didn't. It made me tired reading the constant repetition of description of anorexic, it got dragged, lacked of plot and it also left me in confusion. I agreed with other readers that something is missing in this book.The reason I picked ...
