I think it was a group read in AAB recently; that's how I found it.

Wow....how could I pass up such a recommendation, I'm onto it!!

Great review, Bette. I've also heard mixed opinions and have been in two minds about whether I want to read it or not...

Good review! :)

Thanks for the recommendation!

Julie, to write a detailed review, I would have given away the punch that the story holds. After I read the book, I sat feeling both proud to be a woman but also feeling hollowed out inside.

Kathryn, I don't think I lead you astray on The Street Sweeper:P This is an entirely different type of novel but I have no hesitation in saying "go for it". :)

That's very true - having now read it, I can absolutely understand your love of The Street Sweeper... And I'll add this to the list!

It's on my list Bette, next day out I'm lookin' for it! It sounds like a keeper so I'd like to get a real copy ;-)

Ok Bette, just got back from the shops and my TBR pile is now another inch higher with the addition of Code Name Verity!! :D I'm chuffed.

Bette-try to read Rose Under Fire soon, the sequel to Code Name Verity. The story picks up a little after Code Name Verity ends. It's just as riveting. I highly recommend it.

You have the most important thing done, you've added the book. But if you have friends who tweet you photos of what they are eating, I suggest you flick them. You gotta think, why weren't you invited? :)

This was my top read of 2012! Read it everybody!

It's a really good book, isn't it? When that really pivotal moment happened at end of first part, I felt quite gutted.

You said it perfectly. The characters are 100% real. Re-read it and it will be even more amazing. Every detail will fall into place and totally wow you.

I have added to my TBR list. I cannot wait for a quiet weekend to get lost in this book.

Completely agree with this review - LOVED every minute I was reading this book!

I totally agree with you. This book is so well written. The stories are fun to read and they really grab your attention. I think that people didn't like the book because it is hard to get into. Most people who are writing reviews didn't finish. I had to try 3 times to start this book, but I'm glad I did. The characters are my best friends and my worst enemies. I cried and laughed with them. I found myself wanting them to be real so I could just hug them.

My favorite part of the book was everything about Verity. She was a really tough girl and she found a great way to weave her story into her confession. She was brave and strong. She did what she had to do to keep herself and her friends safe. I could never've done what she did. I want her to be real so I can keep her safe and tell her that she did the right thing.

No stabling please Bette lol. Glad you liked it! I've been aware of this for a long time, but yours is the most exciting review I've read.

Thanks, Suzanne. It made me so mad that thought it was just a 'made up' story. It's worth a read.

Smashing review, Bette! Definitely adding it and hope to read it soon.

Don't know how I missed this Bette , considering how much I loved this book!

I commented but neglected to hit the like button which I have rectified!

Thanks, Kathleen.

Sometimes, I forget the like button too, Angela, especially if I'm really impressed with the review.

I still think about this one too !
