Ultraviolet
4 journalers for this copy...
Given to me by my sister Hannah. She said she read most of this book but it was so boring she couldn't make herself finish the last 5 pages! Who does that!? I hope I get on better with it.
This was a quick read but it wasn't a good one.
This is a book set in the future where we can't go outside for most of the year, due to harmful UV Rays as we no longer have an ozone layer. So kids spend most of their time indoors playing computer games.
The main character is Violet who can see into the future although this is only touched upon and never really explained. She has decided she should be able to go outside, despite all the harmful stuff. So she does, she betrays her dad who works at the company which provides protective screens.
And then I'm not really even sure if any of it happened because they might have been playing a game. WHAT THE HELL!? And her dad now makes parasols so everyone can go outside again. Well that ties that up nicely.
It was just weird. It was all so disconnecting. She didn't have a real relationship with her friends or her parents. You think the adviser she meets will be a main part of the story but she's not. It was boring, I read it all but I didn't enjoy it.

Snarled this while on Stewart Island, as an ideal book for a Halloween exchange.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it.
It's left and returned to the shelf, so I think it's a good time for the book to travel further afield.
