Quotes
My favorite quote from the book is; "Scream and i'll cut you," Came a voice. Keeping a blade to my neck, my assailant stepped around to face me" (Riggs 131). This is a strong example of the element suspense, because it makes the reader wonder who the assailant is. Also, it makes the reader want to keep reading.
Quote from reviewer; " A tense, moving, and wondrously strange first novel. The photographs and test work together brilliantly to create an unforgettable story." -John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars
