review 1: I am mixed on this book. On the one hand I liked it but on the other hand, I thought it was just alright. The second person dialect did not bother me. It was just all the talking. While I can appreciate the author using the second person as the writing style for this book. It did lend some to the mystery of the whole story at the same time unless the character or characters are really strong in the story then this style can come off as more dream like and put the reader like me at an emotional disconnect with the character. So while I find the story interesting, after a while I lost interest and found myself just going through the motions of reading. This is when I skipped to the last chapter to see how it would all end and I was disappointed. Even the romance that the aut... morehor tried to start up in this story was not enough to keep me interested.
review 2: I found most of this book difficult to get through because it's written in second person. Funny that second person is a very personal point of view, and yet I felt so disconnected from the story. Aside from that, however, the premise is definitely intriguing. A girl wakes up and hardly knows anything about herself, yet she's being hunted by people she doesn't know. She slowly puts the pieces together, and I like that. I like that it wasn't an easy solution. There are a few great twists near the end, and the final page definitely left me wanting to read the second book. less
