Manca špoljarič xxxmx — Daisy for ‘innocence’; Geranium (oak leaf) for ‘true friendship’; Lavender for ‘mistrust’. What would you say with a bouquet? The author speaks to us through flowers. She tells the story of ‘Victoria Jones’, a child who was abandoned as a baby and raised in the foster care system. Until Victoria meets ‘Elizabeth’, her new foster mother, she has no idea of flowers and their language and no idea how to love or be loved. And even still, Victoria bears the burden of secret that took away the one chance that she had at a good life. Emancipated at the age of 18, Victoria uses her knowledge of flowers to speak to others and to help others speak for themselves. This book is filled with heartbreak and hope. A gift to the reader is a ‘dictionary’ at the end of the book telling us what certain flowers are meant to mean.

Wieslaw Obrzydowski aleksandra_o — Great book! The story line was great, and I loved that it kept you guessing throughout the entire book.

Richard Liu richardliu — "Journey to the Interior" and "In a Dark Time" have gotten me through some black hours of my life.

Luisa Jaramillo ljaramilloo — Wow! I had just finished reading Asimov's foundation trilogy and needed something to ween me off of my nerd fix. I asked the used book shop girl about something science fiction and tongue in cheek and boy was I happy. This is all about cave men and how they invent fire and love and stuff and then it makes their lives easier but then burns them and stuff. Really swell. Don't miss it, its really short too. Although my girlfriend couldn't really sink her teeth into it.

Samuel Armas samuelarmas — WOW. Usually when I read a series of books, there's at least one of the books that's a little bit disappointing or not as good as the others. That was definitely not the case with these books. Each book was fantastic. And what's even more impressive is that they were great for entirely different reasons. I've already raved about the first two books and the third book is just a good, if not better. This book was so EXCITING. I ripped through the pages because I could not believe what was happening next and next and next...(can you tell I really liked Ness' writing?) There were very few times when I could guess what was going to happen - and none of the events felt ridiculous or forced or like a trick to keep me reading (even though it did). Everything that happened was true to the characters and therefore made the story entirely believable. It was devastating and heart-wrenching, but thrilling and beautiful at the same time. I highly recommend these books to anyone and everyone.
