Rubén Zagon zagonkeko — More reviews at http://dazzlingreads.blogspot.com/ As a fan of Kimberly Derting, I had to read this book as soon as I could, and I did. The Pledge is a book that touches some relevant themes that collide with action and a subtle romance. most Dystopian lovers will certainly enjoy The Pledge, but as a hardcore fan of Derting's Body Finder books, I found myself wishing for a little bit more. The Pledge surprised me with political content and paranormal elements that I was not expecting. This certainly enriched the world Derting created by exposing relevant themes such as; freedom of language/speech and eye contact. I think, these themes can easily be related to issues that have happened already in our world. Also, The Pledge has a few twists in that I didn't see coming at all and this absolutely immersed me in the story even more. The characters were strong and lovable and I dare to say that none of them was annoying nor I I ever though I hated any of them...but The Queen. The Queen is different story. She is repulsive in every sense and I think Derting did a great job creating such a excellent villain. I simply hated her from the very first page. I also think it is interesting to see that the world of The Pledge is ruled by a Monarchy. I was not expecting that at all and it gave me a very refreshing taste of a different and unique dystopian society. Charlie is absolutely a great heroine! Most of the story is from her point of view but some chapters switched from Charlie to The Queen and to Max. Yes! Max! I love those chapters! Although there were always short, they were substantial enough to have a good taste of what was happening around him. I love that Kimberly Derting added these chapters to the story. Somehow, they move me beyond Charlie's eyes and placed me forward into plot. Yet, I would have love to see more of Charlie's friend Brook as well as Charlie's mother. I hope that in the next instalment we can get deeper into some of the side characters. I also love that the title of the book have such a strong meaning between Charlie and Max. You will realize this once you read it! Those little six words gave me the world! Regardless all the good things The Pledge, as a fan of Derting's Body Finder books, I found myself wanting more and more through the book and I wanted to reach the level of engagement I had with The Body Finder. Although, I did not love The Pledge as much as I wished. I think, If readers have never read any Dertin's book, then they might not have the problem of always expecting more of one of Derting's books. Still, The Pledge is a read that I absolutely recommend, and specially to Dystopian fans! This book certainly contains issues that we can relate to real history. The fact that in The Pledge people were not allowed to learn or speak certain languages in their own country is such a limitation and lack of freedom that I found myself struggling with this situation and thanking god that I live in a time and country where I can freely speak any of the languages I know. I think, many readers will be able to easily emphasize with the characters and the situation they live in. Enjoyment from beginning to end plus action, a little bit of romance and themes that are really worth reading in YA books, are some of the elements readers can expect from The Pledge. Derting's first novel in her new series is a absolutely a good beginning and it will keep readers longing for the next book.

Karen Remsen karenremsen — This is a well written and riveting series of books. There are many surprising twists to the story line. They may not be for everyone as there are graphic and violent details. The last two books of the 7 book series have not been published. Therefore, I recommend that you wait to read any of them until all the books have been written. I don't know how many years I will have to wait now to complete the series.

Pedro Ramos pedroramos1987 — This book was given to me as a gift back in 2004, and I honestly didn't know what to expect when I finally started reading it. I knew it had to do with the Vietnam War, and that's about it. I think I postponed reading it for so long because I assumed that it was going to be just a collection of war stories. However, this book is as much about the art of storytelling and the nature of truth as it is about the war. It shows you beauty and horror and makes you turn around and take a good hard look at whether or not you can ever know something as being objectively true. I tore through this book in about a week and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
