I thought Snow White Must Die was excellent. A fairly profound exploration of how a community can close ranks and the hide the truth in order to protect their favored members. Heartbreaking and painful.
I'm thoroughly savoring Bad Wolf. I actually ended up completely backtracking once I got about halfway through because I had been so anxious to figure out what was happening I had been racing through it. I reached a point where I just wasn't sure who was who, so I went back to the beginning to read it more slowly and pay better attention. I'm definitely hooked - and thankfully, I definitely have enough time to finish it before it's due back at the library (we get to keep books out for three weeks ).
Obviously, it's another heartbreaking examination of an extremely painful subject. I respect the author for tackling it.
