I'm back with another review! This time I will be reviewing a new book being published in early March, this book is SEED by Lisa Heathfield. I received this book from Lovereading4kids.
Pearl had lived her whole life at Seed, never doubting
Papa.S or anything she ever had to do. But when a new boy from the outside
arrives she starts to feel and hear new, different things and thoughts, Pearl
starts to doubt everything she was ever taught…
The more I read the more I realised the people in the seed weren’t
just extreme hippies living in nature; there was something dramatically more
sinister with layers of lies, abuse and mistreatment obvious to any outsider. I
really liked the different view in this book, as Pearl wasn't the rebel or the
heroine, she was just a somewhat naïve girl confused with what she was being
told. I hadn't read any cult books
before this so I enjoyed the mystery of it. However I felt the ending was quite
shocking and unpredictable; it took me a while to recover from it! All in all I
felt, SEED was a complex and interesting book with believable characters and
surprising story line. I got this book in an uncorrected bound proof but the cover I have seen online (above) is so colour and pretty and would look fantastic on a bookshelf!
Until the next time,
Izzy
