<p>@ Brooke Shirts, I don't remember graphic torture scenes but there are things that happen "off the page" per say. </p>Beth commented on 'Today @KirkusReviews...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20168eb6ac139970c2012-05-10T22:15:40Z2012-05-10T22:15:40ZBethYour reaction = my reaction, pretty much.

<p>I hope it gets ALL THE AWARDS. It's so brave, and brilliant, and real.<br />

<p>Brooke, one of the two main characters was captured by the Gestapo before the book started. There <i>was</i> torture, but it's mostly off stage, and even when it's discussed, there are no specific details listed. I can handle it, and I am a media wimp, too.</p>Brooke Shirts commented on 'Today @KirkusReviews...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20168eb69fb75970c2012-05-10T20:22:31Z2012-05-10T20:22:31ZBrooke Shirtshttp://casacamisas.wordpress.comCan I ask a question, if it doesn't lead to too many spoilers -- Does this book contain scenes of...<p>Can I ask a question, if it doesn't lead to too many spoilers -- </p>
<p>Does this book contain scenes of torture? I'm really, really squeamish about that. Like, cover-my-eyes-in-the-movie-theater, plug ears and say "lalalalalala" until it's over. I know the main character's a POW or somesuch . . . Is this book okay for a Media Wimp like me?</p>
<p>I've been an admirer of Wein's work for many years, and I'm glad she's getting some major attention with this new novel.</p>Maxine commented on 'Today @KirkusReviews...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e201676666da46970b2012-05-10T17:37:45Z2012-05-10T19:55:11ZMaxinehttp://www.thebookboutique.comSo many great reviews for this book.

I did that, "Please don't let it suck," prayer thing.</p>

<p>I am now threatening to put my finger on her to "touch greatness. Her editor told her not to bother going to ALA this year - but I think that after this January, she should start shopping for award dresses. SERIOUSLY. If not, you're right: a crime will have been committed... </p>Hannahlily commented on 'Today @KirkusReviews...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e201676665d071970b2012-05-10T15:40:33Z2012-05-10T19:55:11ZHannahlily http://My100adventures.blogspot.comI couldn't go back to the beginning and read it over again once I finished because I was too busy...<p>I couldn't go back to the beginning and read it over again once I finished because I was too busy making everyone I know read it! Such a phenomenal book, easily one of my favorite teen books ever now, and I hope it wins a ridiculous number of awards at the end of the year. I have heard some people (who I forced to read the book) complain that it is confusing at first and difficult to get into, but I didn't have that problem at all. I really like what Maureen E says, it's a book that just kind of leaves you in awe.</p>Maureen E commented on 'Today @KirkusReviews...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e201630571543e970d2012-05-10T14:37:59Z2012-05-10T19:55:11ZMaureen Ehttp://bysinginglight.wordpress.comI am SO GLAD you loved this, as I read it in February (got the UK edition) and have been...<p>I am SO GLAD you loved this, as I read it in February (got the UK edition) and have been jumping down all over the place ever since, trying to convince EVERYONE I KNOW to read it. Wein was one of my favorite authors before (Telemakos series FTW!), but now I'm just kind of in awe.</p>
