The Artful by Wilbert Stanton
4.0
This damn book.
It started off and I did not think I would be able to finish it. I mean I broke out Honey BooBoo's mama it was so slow.
I kept reading. WTF?
This book is set in the year 2025 in what is to become of Manhatten and Brooklyn. A virus has came about and changed the world. If you survived it you are unable to tolerate sunlight. The world has changed. Most people scavenge to eat and our two main characters Twist and Dodger steal meds. They aren't the dosers of the world who only want to forget what is going on with the world around them. They are a couple of smart asses who give the meds out to people that need them.
At first I HATED these characters.
Then something happened. The author of this book made these characters grow. They became my friends and I cheered for them.
I cried for them.
This book would have gotten five frigging stars except for that beginning. I can't wait to see where this story goes.
And in the immortal words of our beauty queen:
I recieved an ARC of this book from Curiosity Quills in exchange for an honest review. Now I'm gonna go see if I can bug the author to find out when the next book comes out.
