I read a lot of children's books. My favorites are books for kids who are from 8 to 12, but I also read young adult books. I even occasionally read adult books.

Review: Birthmarked
Birthmarked by Caragh M. O'Brien
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book and read the whole thing in only a couple of days. The biggest strength, for me, is the cast of characters - I like the complexity of many of them. The biggest negative, again for me, is that sometimes the descriptive passages got to be too long. I know some of that needs to be there to build up the suspense, but when the suspense is already built and strong, the descriptive passages actually get in the way.
Nevertheless, I have already ordered the second book from the library and I am looking forward to reading it.
