Cage Of Stars (Large Print Edition) Book

I know what Mitchard was trying to achieve with this book. We were supposed to find ourselves questioning the nature of forgiveness and revenge; ponder the question of how much responsibility a mentally deranged person has for their actions; wrestle with what society owes to the victims of crime in such a circumstance. Unfortunately, the story just did not gel for me.

The story is told from the point of view of Veronica Swan, a girl who at the age of fourteen witnesses the murder of her two younger sisters. Reactions to this tragedy were all over the place, and none of them felt quite right to me. We are told up front that she has done something in retaliation, but when we finally get to the events themselves, they do not seem even remotely possible to me. Then, finally, what color would you like your bow? Because this baby is getting a ribbon tied on top.

I seem to be on a roll with finding bad works by writers I have previously enjoyed. Think it could be me? Nah.
