First reaction after reading Black Blood

The images still linger in my mind as I try to process everything I just read. I finished reading Black Blood a few moments ago and the story still resonates within me. Although I am physically hungry and should eat rather soon, it my hunger for the story that prevailed. I savoured every word, letting its meaning and flavour wash over me before swallowing it whole. I could not stop my thirst for more words, more story, more everything no matter how hard I tried to quench it. I definately recommend this book for its moving passages, plot twists and rich detail in characterization.

There are moments when it reminds me of Stand By Me, My Girl and Looking for Alibrandi. Black Blood reaches deeper within you and stirs your soul more so than the previously mentioned stories. I will need time to digest everything before I can truly appreciate what a feast I just ate.
