I have read Cinder as well and it is definitely not set on another planet, however part of the series is set on the moon, a celestial body, so I get where it comes from. It can be counted as an allegory, because of all the little hints to the original fairy tale.

I don't check where everyone puts their books, so it is up to your own interpretation :)

message 971: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #13 (stage play) - The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. Enjoying this book is not quite right, as there are several parts of this book that are not enjoyable to read (dead dog on page 1 being a perfect example). However, I appreciated this book. The author did an amazing job of portraying the thoughts of an extremely intelligent, autistic boy and others' reactions to him. The book was authentic. Definitely worth reading! 4 stars
