review 1: I finished this in one night if that's anything to go by...Absolutely gripped and horrified by Wynne and Odessa's world. The brutality of it all was almost too much to bear but I couldn't look away. Some good messages about the state or potential state of our world in there too, if you want to get into all that.I'm still reeling.I hope there is a sequel. I don't feel ready to leave the girls yet.
review 2: 4.5 stars. With a bad title, this book surprises. It is really good! There are so many great things about Deliver Me. First of all, the writing is excellent. The main character Wynne's thoughts are conveyed well, as is the narration of what goes on around her. It is a balance of action, sadness, longing, and character development. The dystopian world Kate J. ... moreBirch made is fascinating. What would it be like to grow up segregated from men, being trained for a test that has many results, but you only want -only focus- on one; being a Carrier of the next generation. But, like always, it is not what it seems. Only after the test does Wynne discover what a lie it has all been (so typical. I am trying to decide if I am bored with that.) What kept this book from the 5 stars that it deserves was the relationship between Wynne and Odessa. I won't go into spoilers, but even in Odessa's situation, she could have acted differently. Another was that when Wynne finally meets a guy, she acts like she is in love with him. I mean, I know she has never really met one, but still. Anyways,I really want a second book! One told from another girl's perspective, or maybe a guy's. I don't think Wynne's story will be too interesting anymore. I would still read the second book! Please let there be one... less
