Burned

another amazing book

3 months ago

Ellen Hopkins never disappoints. Another book about personal troubles, this time about Pattyn, a teenager in a strict family community. She starts to doubt everything she's been told is 'right' and is punished for speaking out. She really finds herself throughout the book and discovers the true meaning of love, and how painful it can be. The ending was a bit of a cliffhanger type but besides that i cant complain.

Great, but Disappointing Ending

This review is from: Burned (Hardcover)

This book was absolutely amazing. I opened it up and saw that it was all in poems/verses and thought "Oh, No maybe I don't want to read this". I figured what the heck might as well. It was fantastic and I cried like a baby near the end. The ending was incredibly disappointing. I thought she could have ended it differently. Other than that, I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a good novel to read and never let go until you're finished.

A great story, a must read. Hard to put down book. Very sad however. A good cry for the sensitive. Very easy to relate to. Highly recommend it!

You won't be able to put this book down!

This book was really amazing. I usually hate books written in verse form but I thought I would give it a try since the story sounded intersting. I loved reading about Pattyn and her relationship with Ethan. When a really unexpected twist came along I was so sad and shocked! After I finished this book I couldn't stop thinking about it for days and I immediately recommended it to all of my friends.

Wonderfully Unique

I love how this author is so unafraid to tackle real teenage problems today in each of her novels. Have read two of her other books and while this one is not my favourite i would stil highly recommend it! The edning frustrated me, but don't expect ellen hopkins books to be happily ever afters. They are real life. The ugliness, the beauty, the anger, and the pain. Terrific author i hope she keeps writing.
