review 1: For a kids book I thought it was pretty good. Very quick read. Dealt with quite serious issues reasonably well. While some parts were perhaps a little too graphic (mainly the girl who self harms) I do admire that it didn't shy away from it. It made it feel more real and accepted that this is what happens to some people but it doesn't need to and there is help out there to overcome these issues. However, some of the things Zelah was made to do to "get better" were awful and disgusting. That was the only part I really hated. Overall though, it was a good book and i'm not sure it really needed a sequel.
review 2: I enjoyed this book lots and thought it did a brilliant job of portraying the mental illness that is OCD. I thought that each patient at Forest Hill was ... moreunique and had their own little personality, though felt the author didn't give us enough info on their backgrounds and i also thought that Zelah and Sol needed more of a relationship as i didn't find it very realistic. That said i enjoyed this book lots as it was a quick read but felt it just needed a couple tweeks to make it 5-star-worthy, 4 stars. less
