Seriously...I see that some of you all liked/loved this one but I am baffled. This is up there with "The Catcher in the Rye" with most loathsome young adult character I have read in like decades. Flavia is dancing towards being a psychopath. I would have brained her for the crap she was doing to her...
I reall wanted to like this book. I love the title. I love the idea of an 11 year old girl who loves chemistry as the protagonist. Alas, it was way to long winded for my liking. It was just plain dull. And I was listening to it as an audio book - and found the reader's voice to be excrutiating...
