The Madman's Daughter

It started off so good!! It had a creepy, Gothic atmosphere and a hardened, bitter heroine, which are two of my favorite things. Then everything went downhill when they got to the island. The heroine's long-lost father instantly tries to murder a guy, and everyone just kind of shrugs it off. And once the two love interests are introduced, the very interesting plot about a girl finding her crazy dad and his island full of monsters is basically ignored so the heroine can think about ...how handsome these guys are.

I was very impressed with this book. I have not yet read the classic it was based on, but I now plan to. It has been a very long time since I've read a YA novel that I was crazy about. There were parts that gave me chills to the point where I had to turn on more lights\ read during the day. It did a great job at being a horror. One thing I really liked was the twists. I've grown so tired of reading books where the twist is so obvious. The author did a great job at leading you down one path thinking you understand the twist and then she switches paths on you, and then back again! I normally hate YA love triangles, however, I didn't mind this one so much because there was plenty to learn about both love interests. There was plenty of great character building to the point I would picture the characters in my head like it was a movie. I am also glad that this book is the first of a series because of the ending. If it had not been part of a series, the five stars I've awarded would have dropped to three. I saill definitely be reading thew next two books.MoreLess

I have the hardcopy and forgot to take it home from school so this is a great way I can read more and more everynight! Im happy I can read the book when I want, I was worried no one has ever even herd of the book becouse my mom got it at a garage sale. I agree with the kindergardener that walked up to ,me and asked If he could hold my book, open it, then smell the book (like me! Old book smells are the best!)then he looked up from the pages and said in a hushed voice "Amazing" I dont know his name or If ill ever speak to him again but I praise book lovers like him and agree it is AMAZINGWrite Review:
