Still Intrigued

Oooh, did I burn up with jealosy when I realized that Trish Sullivan wrote this wonderful 400+ page book at twenty-six! It meant two things: 1) We are the same age and 2)Dern, I hadn't written it. Sincerely, it is a wonderfully imaginative book that still tickles my imagination when I look up at the woods surrounding my house. The first chapter is a doozy; you won't understand it at ALL until much much later in the book, but don't let it throw you--it's a wonderful read. I do recommend it to adults, however, and older teens due to some, er, tricky sexual content. It's a very moving read, that draws you in completely into the powerful struggle which faces the protagonists.Susanne Koenig

This is one of the coolest sci-fi books I've ever read!!

This story combines almost every emotion you can imagine. You cry for the characters who have grow up and die. You feel angry for what they do to their children. Your soul rejoices when something good happens. You feel revulsion at the thought of the Pickled Brains. I picked up this book two summers ago at my brother's house. I didn't know what to expect, but now I tell everybody I know to read it. Thank you Ms. Sullivan for writing such an awesome book!
