Review: Good book. I can't say that it blew me over or anything, but I liked the writing style. It was very literary and poetic, which I can usually dig. It has an interesting dystopian premise. It was well written and I rode right along with Juliette for and enjoyed. I am interested to see where the story goes from here, but I don't know if I'm compelled to read the other books in the series right now or anything.
Content
Sex - 2+ (Passionate kissing, discussing going further and their desires.)
Language - 4+ (Some characters are definitely bigger potty mouths than others, so naturally when they're on screen, per se, there's a lot more swearing. Damn, hell, and shit are all used frequently. A handful of uses of ass; one each of Jesus in vain and of bastard)
Violence - 3+ (Because of the world and certain characters there is a lot of maybe gratuitous violence, just for show. Some graphic. A lot of fighting.)
Overall Rating - PG-16 (Although, I wouldn't recommend it to my 17yo sister, but that's a personal thing.)
