A review by ricolinn
Taken by Erin Bowman

5.0

As I have already said before, I've read this book three times in my life, and each one of them has been a very different experience to me. This last one, actually, I think it has been the best one, because, even though I wasn't as excited as the first time I read it, I've become aware of many things about this novel. The first one is the length of the chapters: I don't like books with lots of short chapters, but I've also read some with 700 pages and only 20 chapters, and that makes my reading slow and heavy. So, for having found the perfect harmony in chapters length, one point to Erin Bowman. Another thing that I have liked about this story is the progression of it and the information. I really like how we start with just a little information at the beginning of the book and how we get the answer as the story develops. (SPOILER AHEAD, DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK YET) The love triangle is just perfect, and that situation gives birth to my favorite quote. In addition, the characters evolve along with the plot and that's one thing that I love. I do neither identify as Blaine or Gray, but I think I can say I am a mix of both. In conclussion, this book still remains one of my favorites. (5/5 stars)
