"This book is a cult classic, that is not for me. I was drawn in by the simplicity of the cover and the directness of the writing. But it just doesn't do it for me. In the first portion of the book it describes in mind-numbing detail a rape. I put it ...more"

| I read Unearthly and it annoyed me. Well the book was good, but it didn't have any sense of closure. I was mad that the book I was enjoying felt like it was cut in half. I have been looking forward to reading the second half for a long time. And here...more | |
