Reviewing AdriAnne May's "Exquisite Ruin"
Hello, dear friends. Let me start off by saying that I am in no way a professional literary critic, nor do I play one on TV. As with every book I read, however, Exquisite Ruin left me with several thought-provoking inclinations that I'd like to share. Just in case anyone else - like me - happens to be perusing a bookstore one day, and it catches their eye. Perhaps if you find yourself in this situation, looking at this novel, this brief, unofficial review can help you decide if you think it's worth picking up. I will try my best to avoid spoilers as much as I can.

I was a little wary going in, Cockroach's moniker not really lending itself to competent superhero-dom but I needn't have worried as Frederick has written an entertaining tale for late primary readers which will appeal. I know this because it appealed to me now and it would have appealed to me too at that age.
