The Haven

Author: Carol Lynch Williams
Stars: 4
Review by: Gwen K.


Interesting concept- brainwashed kids in a supposedly safe hospital are given a tonic so they don't remember, have emotions, etc.  References are made to classics and modern classics and the plots of those are distorted.  Reader will need that prior knowledge.  Simplistic style of writing.  Kept me reading...okay...devouring.  Last two pages left me confused.  I reread them several times, but I still don't get it.  Other than that, I liked this dystopian YA novel.
