Into the Woods

This book was recommended to me by Miss. Ritter. So naturally I have high expectations. This is one of those books where you can tell what mood the author was in when she wrote different parts of it. Like for instance if your mental picture is harder to form then there wasn't much detail. Though from this book the author is very skilled in putting out detail enough to make a mental picture but have it still be your own and unique. In the parts where she is rushing, these parts seem darker and blurrier. It makes me think that the author was annoyed.

The hook on this book is really amazing, it starts out as a big picture of rats then the way the author seems to be rushing made me wonder, "Are Storm, and Aurora rats?". I started reading through to find out. Before I knew it I was three chapters into the book. (and no they are not rats)

The cool and interesting thing about this book is it is continuously tying back to a fairy tale. It is a different one every time. Like the first chapter called The Piper Returns is about Storm wandering into a mysterious part of town called Hamilin. Then she sneaks into their town counsel and finds out their food was being devoured by rats. That they where trying to get an exterminator. Then someone said remember the last time!? So I think that was where the Pied Piper went. Or in the second chapter Storms sister Aurora pricks her finger making a blanket and gets really scared, then before (well what happens I can't say) it happens there is a note saying "Be sure to tell Aurora to be careful on her sixteenth birthday.

All-in-all this book so far has met my expectations and gone farther. This book is just plain (well there is nothing plain about it) great and I hope that all of you read it.
