The Rules
Book Review
I really enjoyed how fast paced the book was. I read the whole book in a day!
I admit that at first I found this book hard to get into, and was somewhat confused by the story at the beginning because I did not understand the context of Amber’s situation. However, as I got into the book I started to enjoy it more. I liked the development of Amber’s friendships in the story and even though I didn’t identify with any of the characters I would say that they were well developed, especially Amber and Josh. I liked watching their friendship flourish.
I really enjoyed how fast paced the book was. I read it all in one day. I also enjoyed the plot, mostly because of how fast it moved. The ending of the book definitely surprised me, but it wasn’t the ending I had hoped for.
But overall, I enjoyed the book and it was a good thriller and I read a lot of thrillers.
I would recommend this book to any teen who enjoys mystery or thriller books.
About the Book
Amber’s an expert when it comes to staying hidden – she’s been trained her whole life for it. But what happens when the person you’re hiding from taught you everything you know?
When a letter from her dad arrives, Amber knows she’s got to move – and fast. He’s managed to find her and she knows he’ll stop at nothing to draw her back into the extreme survivalist way of life he believes in.
All of a sudden the Rules she’s spent so long trying to escape are the ones keeping her safe. But for how long…
