They are not "eas...You make such a good point. They are not "easy" books in spite of their relative small size and easy to read style. But the writing, oh the writing, it's so precise like you pointed out that a mere sentence like, "Ethel hums." tells you everything you need to know.<br /><br />If you have reluctant teenage readers, these are definitely the books for them. And if your TBR pile is at the tipping stage, squeeze this trilogy in first. You'll get through it quickly, but the impression it leaves will be long lasting. If you're an aspiring writer, read them -- NOW. Lisa's style is unique in the YA world.<br /><br />I won't forget the romantics in all of us,so let me add that Cabel is The Perfect Boyfriend for any girl, but especially for Janie. He is so incredibly well written. His POV from the first book, WAKE is still available here on Lisa's site: http://www.simonandschuster.com/giveaways/lisa-mcmann-cabel-story<br /><br />Awesome review Rain. Thank you again for promoting a book and a series that I'm happy to have on my shelves.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906613969439987030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996680915678450767.post-19456403829395837242010-02-08T11:31:29.606-05:002010-02-08T11:31:29.606-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906613969439987030noreply@blogger.com
