Not perfect, but definitely beautiful. The characters are well drawn and you get a sense of their personality - the diary/journal format lends itself well to that. The only part I felt could have been executed differently (and you may consider this down to personal taste) is that the last third of the book should have been developed at a slightly slower pace, so that more detail could be packed in, and we'd get a fuller picture of where Jason actually comes from and why those from his time were the way they were - and perhaps the fact that Jason was different to them and why, could have been explored a bit more. That part of the story seemed a little rushed to me.I liked Kara, but I did not find her as interesting as Jason - this isn't to say she wasn't just as developed a character as Jason, but then there wasn't anything distinctive about her (not in the way that Jason is in comparison. I did find that Kara was well drawn enough for me to become emotionally invested in her as a character, so I still enjoyed reading her side of the story.Overall, I enjoyed the book and I was particularly fond 14 year old Jason - much of what he says, does and thinks in the story is sweetly humorous.
