"It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what they say. It's not how you look like in that body, it's what you do with it. You are beautiful."

I was never one to be into science fiction, or anything like that, but this book was amazing! i was hooked early on. the characters were well developed and likable. and much more complex and interesting than...some of  her previous work. The plot is layered, and there are many twists and turns that make the ending nearly impossible to predict! i became attached to the characters, and started to worry towards the end- it wasn't ending in a way that i wanted it to! i was scared something would happen that would ruin the book for me!

although it isn't a tough read-- her writing style and techniques are basic-- it is well worth it!
