Review: Robin Mahle is a great author!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 5, 2013
Initially,when I finished All the Shiny Things I gave the book a 3 heart review as I felt disappointed with what I thought was Katie 'selling out' at the end, and I actually uttered a 'UGH'!!! However, Robin Mahle will be pleased to know that again her book has made me think! I have altered my rating because now I understand Katie's decision - after all she has been through she needs comfort and security, at least for the foreseeable future.Whereas Redwood Violet was more of a mystery, All the Shiny Things is definitely a thriller and Robin Mahle is able to maintain the suspense throughout the story. She does not hold back on several details, at times making this an uncomfortable read but be reassured this is not a predictable plot!!!I received this as a review copy, but this has had no influence on my opinion.
