The truth will get under your skin.
Let me be honest here, most of my friends and teachers were disturbed when I explained the world these humans were placed. But I found it fascinating, cause I'm quite a disturbing person myself. I love how humans express themselves in Saintstone.
I explained to many people who have asked about the book and I never get tired of the idea.
Humans are tattooed since they are born, expressing themselves and their stories onto their skins.
When they die, their skin becomes a book, which is then judged if it is worthy of being remembered or should be burnt.
People freaked out about the idea of human skin becoming a book.
I was fascinated. If the book is worthy, the family can keep this book and forever remember this soul who deserves to be remembered.
Leora Flint is an amazing character. Unsure of what to do next, not fitting when she is meant to fit. But then realises she wasn't supposed to. The end got me all thrilled, and I was so proud of her.
Oscar was someone I didn't want to trust, but I respect his father, and Leora's feelings might tell me otherwise.
Karl isn't bad, he just doesn't know what he is doing.
VERITY IS THE SWEETEST BEING ALIVE. Best best friend candidate ever. She is the literal image of my best friend although my best friend can be a bit crazy sometimes. Verity has the highest of my respects.
Leora's parents, all of 'em (you'll understand once you read the book), respect. Her dad was the cause of the journey, and the journey was the cause of this journey.
The fables and stories within the story did truly weave into something beautiful.
The story had an unexpected twist, which I swear on my life I couldn't have guessed ever. You love this book. Trust me again, read it.
