Candor is the captivating debut from Pam Bachorz. Filled with love, hate, survival and everything in between.
The concept of brainwashing - or mind control - is utterly terrifying. Even the thought of being made to think a certain way while I have no idea it’s happening makes me shudder. But that’s what life is like in Candor. The change between the real person and the perfect Candor teen is likely to be something that every reader of Candor will take away with them. And it got worse! The parents of these brainwashed children knew and actually sought it out for themselves and their families. It really is a horrifying concept.
But there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Oscar Banks. He knew about the messages and heard them all the time, but fought them everyday while maintaining his perfect faç ade and helping others get out of Candor. That was one of my favourite things about him. And that he’s not completely good. Though what he sacrificed for Nia is one of the most amazing and utterly heartbreaking parts of Candor.
I loved Candor and I recommend it to absolutely everybody and anybody. It really is that good!
