I wasn't sure what to expect from "Being." Science fiction is not one of my favorite genre as they do tend to lean strongly on the Star Trekky feel which I can't stand. Mousner keeps the plot fresh and exciting giving non sci-fi lovers a taste of science fiction.EBN is a fantastic character. She's super courageous and brave like you wouldn't believe. Put aside the fact that she's from another planet. EBN has the power to heal too.Honestly, I'd like to see more characters with her qualities in YA.Overall, Mousner's writing style is amazing making for a fast paced enjoyable read. She creates a vivid image for the reader as if you were a character yourself. Who wouldn't enjoy reading a book like that? This is the perfect book for readers who haven't taken the sci-fi plunge. Readers that enjoyed Gini Koch's Touch By An Alien or Stephenie Meyer's The Host will really enjoy were Being takes you. I only want one thing, more of EBN.
