Uninvited - S. Jordan

I started uninvited but had trouble getting into it. The beginning at least was very depressing and the prospects didn't look good to improve in the first book since there is going to be a series. I did not finish this. Please let me know if it gets better

That doesn't bode well.

Colleen, you are right about the book being depressing, but I liked it.

This whole book brings up the nature vs. nurture argument. I know where I fall on the argument. I found myself getting so mad while reading this book. Mad at the mysterious Dr. Wainwright, who is bastardizing something that might be helpful, instead he is making thing worse. Mad at how Davy is treated by everyone, including family and close friends when she is found out to be a carrier. Mad at the people who think that carriers can be treated like trash, like it didn't matter what happened to them. Mad at the carriers themselves, who thought they weren't any better than how people treated them. Mad at how the carriers that were sent away with Davy, were treated, like barely leashed dogs at a fight, raring to go. So wrong, in so many ways.

The one thing that I did like about this book was how Davy realized that she is strong, stronger than she ever imagined she could be. This whole experience opened Davy's eyes, in a good way.

I was very glad at the choice that Davy made at the end. It gives me hope for her and her friends, hope that they can have a life free of being a carrier.
