Convince us to read the book: This book is full of chilling theories and ideas that keep you on the edge. It is dark and has a great storyline. Yet with this storyline, you can analyze it and find deeper parts within. When I read it, I found that the book almost represented the innocence of youth and how easily it can be beguiled.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: the possibility that you know it might not end happily. The story set itself up for a dark ending, yet in the end, hope prevailed!
Were you disappointed with the book at all: I have no complaints!
Cover: YES! This cover was the reason I even looked as this book. The colors are bold, the picture is incredible, and it just sends shivers up your spine. It reflects the contents very well because it brings in the darkness of the book while there is still light which could represent the hope the book's ending holds.
