I received this novel in exchange for an honest review so here goes:
I did not start off loving this story. In fact, I was probably about a third of the way through before I got HOOKED. The harvesting of emotions really gave me chills. I haven't been able to stop imagining what life would be like if I lost my own memories.
I liked Silas' devotion to his sister but she came across as one dimensional. Up until the end I really didn't care what happened to her. I liked Jamar. He was probably my favorite character because his flaws were authentic and the author wasn't afraid to depict his pride and desperate need for approval.
My only complaints and reasons for giving it 3 stars?
A) the ending was a let down. It felt as though there was less time spent on it than the other scenes. The exchange between Silas and Jamar was just not believable.
B) there were a few grammatical errors and sentence compositions that needed to be addressed
That being said, I am definitely getting this for my mom and my sister. It's certainly worth the read. Plus, I'll be on the lookout for book 2 because let's face it, I've got to know how it ends.
Oh and that poem in the beginning. Wow!
