some beautiful descriptions, lively character of 11 year old Kat Its pretty dull!

Fast Paced Plot, Realistic Characters A little too quick with the sex scenes

Easy to read Not as good as some of her other books

Interesting premise, unusual subject Two dimensional characters, too much background and very little action

An excellent read, despite being slightly outdated, a lot of it rings true to current events. The pilot talk sometimes gets a bit too technical.

Gripping, poignant.powerful and emotional Takes a few chapters to really get going but grabs you by the balls once it does
