i read this book to try to gauge my personal opinion of John Green's writing and how much his ideas vary from book to book: reading this after The Fault in Our Stars made me give up his work. i really did try to get into his writing as such hype has surrounded it but i just think it wasn't for me
  
This was an interesting set of books and authors. I personally didn't feel that it was "horror" persay but it had some of the slight creep factors.. now if it was YA (which I have no clue if it is or not but I think i saw its adult) it might be more horror then adult. But the stories themselves were good. I enjoyed them and the writing was very good . i am glad i got to review it

This is the perfect book for YA. The questioning of the main characters is realistic. Also the fact that the author shows both the negative of religion and positive. Yes there are bad people out there but not all are bad. The character of Chloe is especially well written and I feel would be helpful for many young people who can relate to the situation she is in. Also no sexual content so a good starter book.

If I Speak True (Flora, #1)

This was a good YA fantasy, especially for younger teens. There's no bad language or sex, and the teens acted very much like teens. A sweet love story, a bit of mystery, and another world all combine to make this a fun listen!

Angel Clark did a great job with the female teens voices, inflections and all.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of the audio edition from the author in exchange for my honest review.

Angsty/whiny characters
Seemed like a good premise
I really wanted to like this book. It sounded like it would be good, the story sounds very interesting. However, I just couldn't look past how annoyingly it was written. I read a lot of YA novels because I am a middle school teacher, but this was definitely one of the worst. I couldn't get more than halfway through.

I read this book around 10 years ago so excuse my vagueness and lack of detail. While I love its premise, the characters in Uglies annoyed me and I found them hard to relate to. Granted I was around 12 years old and I think I may be due for a reread. I nonetheless am grateful to this book and its series because it was my gateway into YA Dystopian which is now one of my favorite sub-genres.
