Revolution

More of 3.5
It was a solid read but that last third took an odd turn which pulled me right out of the story and it took determination on my part to just accept what was happening and go with the flow. Those who have read it know what I am talking about. Apart from that section of the book and a little bit in the beginning I thought it was great book. Andi and Alex aren't the most likeable characters when you meet them but they grow on you the more you get see into their heart. I loved reading about modern Paris. Revolutionary Paris was BRUTAL, Jennifer Donnelly does not shy away from the terror of that time and she did an excellent job at describing just how dire and terrible it all was. So much was happening in the book - science, music, history - It was a lesson in all those things including grief and love and hope. I would recommend it and I definitely will check out the author's other works.
