This was a book that I really wanted to like given all the positive media and reviews, but I found it to be slow reading, especially at the beginning of the book.

I have posted my full review of this on my blog, The Itinerant Librarian. Click on the link to read the full review and check it out. My review is a bit mixed. While I liked it (barely), I can certainly see the appeal factors, and I bet other readers out there will enjoy it better. So check it out and decide. If you do, let me know. Comments are open.

Blair Thornburgh, the Editorial Assistant at Quirk Books, stopped by to talk about her job, writing tips, and college advice! If Quirk Books sounds familiar, that might be because they've published books like Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and William Shakespeare's Star Wars.
