review 1: This book was beautifully written and the words seemed to flow together. The reason I gave it a three and not higher was I was very much not in the mood for a book like this. This book kind of reminds me of 'The Diary of Anne Frank'. It is a typical coming of age story. It shows the confusion and lack of understanding of the world as seen through a 15 year old girls eyes. If you like to read coming of age stories this book is for you. If you like horses, that also helps. Like I said earlier, the words seem to flow and it has details that make the story quite beautiful.
review 2: I wanted to love this. So many elements were right. It was kind of a mash-up of "Lolita" and "The Secret History." I was hooked for the first 10% - but then my interest flagged. This is... more a book that might've been better if the reader never actually learned what the big transgression was - as frustrating as that sounds. Don't get me wrong - I love books with school settings that vividly conjure the eras in which they're set. This does a good job of that - but left me wanting for more. Not a waste of time by any means; the writer can write. I'd be curious to see what other people think of it. less
