Sierra's Review

Where to begin...

Well, for November, I shall (hopefully) completely read through the impossible knife of memory by Laurie Halse Anderson. Anderson is one of my favorite authors, mostly for her ability to tell the terrifyingly true insights of victims of anorexia and bulimia (Wintergirls), or that have sexual tension (Twisted and Speak). This may be one of my anticipated reads yet.

From what I can tell, the impossible knife of memory exploits the horrifying truth behind PTSD and the influence drugs and alcohol can have on a person. Throw in puppy-love to the situation and you have a recipe for disaster, the main dish in Hayley Kincain's life.

I chose this book for my independent reading project mostly because of my adoration for Anderson's writing style. She continues to educate her audience on a variety of issues plaguing the teenage generation of today. Hopefully, I get as enraptured in this book as I have with her past tales.

I'll keep you posted as I move along on the story.
