More of a 3.5 but it kept my interest very well so more than a 3.The story opens with a confession that the narrator killed someone, they watched them disintegrate. Then the Narrator, Alison, describes waking up in a bleak hospital room and discovering that she was in an institution and had to deal ...
2.5 stars.Hmm...well this started very slow and made me more aware of the fact that I'm not a fan of books that take place in mental hospitals/institutes. It took a long time to get anywhere and I was on the verge of giving up when Faraday appeared and I started to get excited, thinking the story wo...
You know that old tag-line for those awesome sweets, Skittles - "taste the rainbow"?! Welcome to Alison of Ultraviolet by RJ Anderson's world!! She has a condition/gift/anomaly whereby she can taste colours and lies, see the colour of numbers, feel sounds. What she has is called synesthesia which is...
This book starts off as a weird mystery. Alison wakes up in a psychiatric treatment center with no memory of why she's there. All her life, she has experienced sensations that other people don't, like tasting the color blue, knowing that each letter of the alphabet has a color, and knowing that the ...

I had a feeling it wouldn't take me long to finish, especially after reaching the midpoint of the book without ...

I am beyond impressed.I am terribly happy that I had the privilege to read this book unspoiled, knowing nothing at all about the beginning, middle, or en...
Just to recap this reading experience:Depressing, depressing, hopeful, what an asshole, hopeful but awkward, what the fuck, depressing, predictable, wait what, WAIT WHAT, WHAT!?, WE'RE GOING WHERE?, I don't need all this technobabble, I don't know what's going on, oh so sad, is hopefully depressing ...
Full review at http://thebookshelfgargoyle.wordpress.com/2012/10/01/mind-your-own-delusions-ya-fiction-mixing-mental-health-and-fantasy-themes/This is a very well constructed YA title mixing science fiction and mental health themes with a bit of romance thrown in. The premise - a girl residing in a...
Ultraviolet is one of those books that you won’t be able to put down and will leave you saying, “wow, that was so neat.” Of course, an integral part of the reading experience is going in with next to no knowledge about the story itself, so I’ll try my best to keep this review short, sweet, and spoi...
