Well this book intrigued me when I saw it on the shelf one time I was on a shopping trip with my friends at the Metro Centre.
We were in a reduced book shop and this book was only £2.
A bargain for something with such high production values (artfully ripped pages to add a diary scrapbook effect) and a hardback novel at that.
I almost didn't buy it but I cannot resist a bargain and, with money burning a hole in my purse, and a desire to read it, I thought why not.
A few weeks ago this book surfaced near the top of my "to read" pile and around the same time it was mentioned by John Green as one of his top YA book recommendations.
I have to give it 4.5/5.
It is written from the point of view and in a time that I have never read about before and in a contextually accurate prose that is highly interesting.
I really want to read the next instalment and recommend this book enthusiastically.
