I don't think I've ever read a book that's left me quite so raw. I'd been meaning to read Revolution ever since it's hardcover release but in the age-old irony of the bookseller, I ended up leaving it until three days before the meeting where the teen book club would be discussing it. In truth, it m...
Now to be completely honest i went into this book thinking that i would most definitely not like this book because first of all im not really a history person and it sounded pretty boring honestly! but what a surprise this book was from beginning to end and i loved every minute of it i thought that ...

I wonder if Donnelly was purposely trying to put so many things I cann...
Also appears on The Screaming Nitpicker.I might as well warn you now that I think my review is awful. I've got no clue how to put how I feel about this book into words that make sense and really get across how I feel about it, but I did the best I could. Please don't be afraid to tear me apart for t...
This book had me hooked from the start. How hooked you ask? I didn't even notice it was the hated first person present tense until page 83! Which just goes to show, excellent writing can surpass any obstacle. :)Revolution is the story of Andi, who has lost her little brother and isn't coping well...
