Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-27 00:00:00 William Wilson [I understand the value of her ultimate resolution to live, but Reagan controlled time is as bleak as place as Trump controlled time, and a sequel involving Cecelia's future would be hard to write. (hide spoiler)]

Review # 2 was written on 2017-06-03 00:00:00 Natalie Amabile This is a tricky one. I'm not quite sure how to rate this. I had to read it for the summer class I'm taking online. It was a fast read for sure and much better than most of the other works that I've been assigned in my previous semesters (other English majors know the struggle). It was definitely interesting and never boring. It's basically a very intimate look into the dysfunctional, terribly flawed life of Cecelia Capture. I guess the reason for my confusion as to what to rate the book is that I don't quite know what I think of Cecelia herself. Is she worth reading about? Her story, while sad and sometimes just disgusting to read about, is definitely interesting. Do I feel bad for her? I did sometimes. Other times she really ticked me off with her poor lifestyle choices. But in the end, I have to say I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would, and was pretty satisfied with the ending, when Cecelia's resilience shone through. It's a story that I'll definitely remember, and one that I found myself truly interested in throughout (it didn't even feel like I was forcing myself to slog through a book for school). And that's a good sign.
