And I wish I could say she does the same, and she says she do, but she doesn't. They have been together since they were thirteen. Kira has a boyfriend in this book, Marcus. I know that many people probably don't, but I do, since I cannot stand to see the guy I love hurt. I mean, sure, she is a good character, she is strong, and smart, and she is almost kind.īut she is evil. But then, like I said, I could not stand the main character Kira. The plot is so good, and the writing is amazing. Not about the plot and such :) You see, this book is amazing. But only spoilers about the things I did not like. And that's okay since this is my review and all :D Hih. See, the story and writing is worthy of a five star, but because of how much I hated the main character, and how much I disagreed with most of her choices, this book is only a three star for me. I'm unsure about how to feel about this book. ![]()

Over the years, I have exhibited and lectured in many Academic Institutions and Science research centers to promote further the dialog between Art and Science. As an artist I believe each medium defines and encourages new original approaches of the unending exploration and appreciation of our visual environment. Depending on the particular, I may use oil, acrylic, pencil as well as photography and digital technology.

Together they are the most cruel, evil, vile, dysfunctional family I think I’ve ever read about.Įveryone in this book is disgusting. They have Arty, the Aqua Boy with fins instead of arms and legs, Iphy and Elly, the conjoined twins attached at the pelvis, Oly, our narrator and albino, hunchback, dwarf, and Chick, who appears perfectly normal from the outside but developed a secret gift. They purposefully cause birth defects in their own pregnancies in order to build up their circus acts. The Binewski family does create their own freak show but I thought it’d be in a kidnapping and mutilating strangers way. It’s creepy, but not in a spooky way, more like a sex offender stalking you at the park way. ![]() I don’t know that I would call it horror but I’m not sure what else it would be. ![]() The description of a carny family that creates their own freak show caught my attention and I dove in. ![]() ![]() I was looking for something for October, something horror, something creepy, maybe something kind of gross.
