OHMYGOD THIS BOOK IS JUST SOOOO GOOD. THERE ARE SO MANY PLOT TWISTS AND DISTRUBING SCENES. The men are such pigs in this book. My goodness, this was a thrilling (horrifying) read. From the start there was a sense of foreboding which only intensified the more I read. Mena annoyed me at the start but she became a worthy protagonist as she began to grow, question and finally understand what was really happening to the girls in the Academy. While it was obvious to the reader, it took Mena and her friends longer to come to the same realisation. There were parts of "Girls with Sharp Sticks" that were quite shocking. The lack of boundaries the men displayed, the acts of violence and the 'medical' treatments were chilling and morally wrong. I truly feared for all the girls, especially Mena. However, the strong bond between the girls was the highlight of the novel. They kept each other safe and ultimately sane. While I don't think Jackson was a necessary character, he might play a bigger role in the following books and I am looking forward to reading "Girls with Razor Hearts" . While I wasn't necessarily surprised by There's a lot of telling rather than showing. I wanted more of the school, seeing how these girls were being mounded and taught; heck, even more backstory to the girl's friendships would have been great. While I read it pretty quickly, I didn't really find myself engaged or even that interested. The characters were fairly one-dimensional, and not a lot happens. I appreciate the fact that it's the power of poetry that wakes the girls, though. teen fiction (suspense/mystery with sci-fi and feminist interest; 2 of the minor characters are incidentally lesbian). Don't be fooled by the clean cover--what starts off as a story about mild-mannered 16 y.o.s will turn bloody by the end. While the surprise twist isn't that much of a surprise if you've been paying attention, it doesn't detract from the compulsive readability of the book. Looking forward to part 2!
