( )Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I requested and received this book from the LibraryThing Early Reviewers, and was under the impression that it was suitable for middle grades, including 12, 13, 14, and 15 year olds. I was woefully wrong! This book started out with a violent and descriptive rape that had my 14 year old daughter completely shocked and appalled, as well as myself. Needless to say we immediately put it down and will not be reading it. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I got this book free from LibraryThing in the Early Reviewer's section. I was interested in a non-conventional story. This is a story about a slave that runs away, is granted freedom, and becomes a strong woman. There are some difficult or even unnecessary parts to the story but overall it was good and worth the read. Spoiler Alert!!! Avert eyes if concerned... If this was truly a young adult book - I think the lesbianism was unnecessary. I found the attempt at speaking as a Jamacian and the extensive spanish (and whatever else was used) was unnecessary, did not add to the story, and was a distraction. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This was an interesting book about a young slave girl who wins her freedom. Kemosha is always looking to better herself and is very ambitious. My favorite part of the book was when she was sailing on the pirate ship. A look at life during the 1600's that was so different than my own. I found the ending a bit abrupt and wanted to follow Kemosha on her journey for a while longer.This book is aimed towards middle grade readers and up. The writing seemed pretty simplistic but it is for a younger audience. My main complaint with the book was all of Kemosha's dialogue was written in some sort of dialect. It made it hard to read as I had to translate in my head to get her meaning. Also, Kemosha makes some questionable decisions through out the book, even though things seem to work out for her. I received a free copy from Library Thing Early Reviewer's program in exchange for my honest review. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
