review 1: Kudos to you Kahaney! This book was indeniably unique and one-of-a-kind. I went in blind and didn't know what to expect, and I'm so very happy I read this wonderful story. The concept is very twisted and cruel, I usually don't pity a character, but Anthem's ordeals were horrible and unjust. I love how strong and passionate she is, and I love the cycle that she went through to become the person she is in the end. Her phase of heart-break, depression then hatred really moved me, and I rooted for her the entire time. She is a character to remember and Kahaney does her justice. I enjoyed the secondary characters as well, they seemed so real and reflected the corruption that the world is. The ending was suspenseful and it left me wanting more. I can't wait to read the next ... morebook.
review 2: I really enjoyed this story. It held my interest and appealed to the parts of me that love Batman. I only reduce my rating for a couple reasons. First, while stylistically I thought the story was written in an interesting way, there were also several places I feel the writing could have been better. The other reason is a plausibility issue. I don't think the author talked to a scientist when writing about Anthem's new heart, and as a scientist, all I can see is where it doesn't make sense. I was really disappointed with the explanation of the heart and her new abilities. Maybe I missed something, but it just doesn't make sense scientifically or biologically. But regardless of my problems with where her abilities came from, I still ordered the sequel...if that tells you how I feel about Anthem and Bedlam... less
