The thought of a young girl being raised to believe that her whole life and purpose is to be a herald of death. To think that it will bring her glory to go out and kill herself and others in a bomb explosion is difficult for me to process. I cringed almost the whole time I was reading this book.Francehttp://talkingpoint2track.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-36815239174069108432011-03-11T02:09:45.751+01:002011-03-11T02:09:45.751+01:00A really gripping read wasn't it?

This really doesn't seem like a dystopia... it <i>does</i> sound plausibly contemporary (as horrifying a thought as that may be) and it also seems very good. I've always very much liked those stories that limit their narrative to the purely main characters. It gives off a truer, less falsely dramatic vibe.Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-27542175184285996562011-02-28T05:59:34.967+01:002011-02-28T05:59:34.967+01:00Thanks for putting this under my radar.
