White Crow
by Marcus Sedgwick
No fun at all (1/8/2012)
I can't believe this book is up for any award or that it was advertised as a thriller. This is my first time reading this author, and I'll be sure not to read his novels again.

The characters in this story were easily led astray and not particularly likeable. White Crow was poorly written, and I finally skimmed the last half of it to see if I would see some point to it in its conclusion.

I'm writing this review to hopefully save some other readers from this depressing angle on the human condition.
