Beautiful prose, gripping paragraphs...absolutely intoxicating from beginning to end. Beckett is so many teenage girls, her perceptions and confusion ring so true as the words pull you from page to page. Anyone who feels or ever felt on the outside of the highschool universe should read this book.

i have never read a book so quickly--i felt like Beckett as i read it. At fifteen years old, i was extremely able to relate to Beckett's confused mind, as I am a very observant individual like herself. I certainly hope that Jane Mendelsohn realizes what a masterpiece she has created, and that she lured readers into a special bond with the heroine. =)

innocence shows true emotions of a teenage girl what she feel and how she acts can be related to many young girls in theire teenage years. it is a great book
Shelley:
I happened upon this book quite by accident, bought it impulsively and completed it that same night. Never have I devoured a novel so quickly and thoroughly! Innocence is truly a marvel, twisting the themes of romance and science fiction mystery in a fresh, updated way. The struggles of adolescence and self are paired with gruesome murder and dark fantasy. Many accolades to Jane Mendelsohn on creating a delicately complex work of written genius.

The author's vivid imagry is amazing, but it was a little too vague in parts. It seemed like the author was trying to hard, and the second half of the book read a little flat- the story didn't draw me in as well as it could have.

THE WORST BOOK EVER!
This book gave me nightmares. I found it in my middle school library. This book is not suitable for teenagers under the age of 15. My mother had to go to court to get this book out of my library at school and many parents agreed. So from a teenagers point of view this book was terrible no one that I know of wants to read about woman murdering your girls to stay beautiful. That just sends a terrible message.

As I read Mendelsohn's novel, it was somewhat scary, but at the same time intriguing. The metaphors included within the novel make one think about the world we see around us. A picture of the adolescent mind is exquisitely painted by the plot and structure of the book. This is a must read. Bravo.
