I read this book because I absolutely LOVE all of the books by Neal Shusterman (especially Full Tilt, Bruiser, Everfound, Unwind, and The Schwa was Here). This was a really good book, not as good as some of his book but still pretty amazing. The cover:
For future references, the book has another cover with the title and author in a circle, but I didn't put that one on this post because it had "a novel" on it. (That's my biggest pet peeve. Look at the cover and you know it's a novel!)
The story goes like this: There's a society under the feet of New York City. They've gotten about well enough on their own, but Talon wants to go to the Topside so much that it hurts. He meets Lindsay, a Topsider, by a chance run in and, later, things start crashing down around them, literally. A simple truth that could destroy everything that all of the Downsiders' lives, a broken-in-half home, a sick sister, and an execution wait within these pages, all you have to do is start reading.
Overall, I really liked this book. He should have slowed down during the pipe part, and gone quicker during the very beginning, but it was a wonderful book. I would definetely suggest you to read it.
I'm about halfway through Birthmarked and I have to say that it is amazing so far. I'll post on it next week!
