Forest Born by Shannon Hale
VOYA Book review by: Carleen Sanchez
Forest Born is an enjoyable book because it is well written and has an interesting plot; however, sometimes it is repetitive. At times it is unrealistic and a little confusing. The author creates very unique characters that are appealing. In addition, the very descriptive language allows the reader to get a good mental picture of the setting. The book is very long because at some points the author rambles. The happy ending is excellent because it doesn’t leave the reader hanging.
VOYA rating:
3P 4Q
(This means she gave it a 3 out of 5 for Popularity – “Will appeal with pushing” and 4 out of 5 for Quality – “Better than most, marred only by occasional lapses.”)
