gingeroftheshelves's review against another edition

emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I'm definitely going to check out Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak and I'm interested in reading more American revolution historical fiction books.
