My Review:
I have heard about Amanda Hocking for quite some time and this book
looked really interesting. Unfortunately, it sat on my bookshelf for quite some
time though now I feel so bad because I’ve missed out such an amazing series
this long!First, Wow has anyone noticed how amazing the cover is. I really
liked it, it was different, but yet amazing.
This story really starts on a
dark note with Wendy’s “mom,” who is really crazy in my opinion, but really not
at the same time. I was so confused and like oh my gosh! What the heck is going
on!?
Then appears Finn, *Sigh. Yes we
have another hot guy, I find in YA you never can get enough hot guys in stories
and oh my gosh this story works perfect with Finn in it.
Wendy, is really clueless as to what is happening and so was I. Amanda
Hocking let’s nothing slip out too early and I love that. Every time Wendy
would ask certain question it would be ignored and peak your curiosity just
enough to want to scream from anticipation of what is going on and why won’t
they answer her. This book does not lack intensity and curiosity I give Ms.
Hocking’s and A+ for that.
In this new world there are many things to be learned and like I said
before this takes you to places where you don’t know what’s going to happen
next. It was just that unpredictable. Also, along Wendy’s journey in this new world
she makes new bonds with new people and I love to see her opening up to these
people little by little because she knows she can trust them.
I have never read a story quite like Switched. I found it interesting and
touched on a subject that Ms. Hocking’s did an amazing job on. The ending was a
killer and I absolutely cannot wait to get the second book because who knows
what will happen. Hopefully in my case, there will be more Finn ;)
I know I say this a lot, but this time I am serious, READ THIS BOOK! The
subject was amazing and the characters as well. Oh and girls if you are looking
for another boy character to fan-girl over I promise Finn will melt your heart
the second he enters the story.
