review 1: Combining elements of history, drama, and science-fiction, Lake weaves a powerful tale of survival and death set in the beleaguered nation of Haiti Of course one finds racism, violence, and voodoo in the plot --it wouldn't be a Haitian tale without these elements. But Lake skillfully molds the story to incorporate them seamlessly. It is a rather complex tale for a YA novel, raising the bar as the winner of the Printz Award. Unlike many YA titles, it delves into character development and the relation of setting to the plot. Very nicely done, Mr. Lake!
review 2: Wow. Go read this now. This is, without a doubt, the best book I have read in a while. If you like reading about any of the following things, you will adore this book: teenagers, urban underclass, po... moreverty, Haiti, strength in the face of despair, love, family, earthquakes, slums, historical fiction, or slave revolts. Nick Lake is an incredible writer who I would personally like to thank for this work of literature. less
