Review Detail

This was a very interesting novel—what I loved about it is that it’s very weird (perhaps that’s my Swedish side), dark, bloody and grotesque, while at the same time exciting and beautiful. The sci-fi elements are imaginative and amazing and graphic… when else do you meet the protagonist and she is horribly scarred and has a doll head fused to her hand?

Pure was definitely a ride and very intriguing, the descriptions were beautifully written and detailed oriented. That said, there was almost too much description and it really affected the pace of the book. Secrets are revealed slowly, building a great amount of suspense, but we don’t find out a few important things, such as the status of this post apocalypse world… what is the time period? Why is there a Dome? There were some questions I had about the nuclear attack—granted it’s a very lofty scenario to create but some of these things distracted me while reading them, taking me out of the escape of the book.
