Amazon.com: 5.0 out of 5 stars (2 customer reviews)

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, Aug 29 2011
By Sydnie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Burning City (Paperback)
I read this book a while ago, checked it out from the library and read it in a couple days. I loved it.

The description and even the other reviewer mention the flaws of the setting and how the plot seems unrealistic but in my mind these aren't flaws at all. When I read this book it had a bit of a nonsensical feel to me. Like it wasn't supposed to be completely realistic, it was supposed to be about the people rather than the plot. And the people are great. Heller is one of the best written characters I have read and for a young adult novel I think the characters are much more important than anything else because teens are looking for people to relate to.

As was said in one of the novel descriptions I think this book and it's characters are best for "thoughtful" teens. The story itself is quite interesting and does grab your attention, but the characters and their inner relationships and emotions are what makes the story, so if you're only interested in a story about a young bicyclist that's not what you're going to get. But if you want to read a story filled with characters who are complex and interesting and still so understandable, this is definitely a book you will love.

5.0 out of 5 stars the people, the people!!, Dec 21 2005
By terryannlibrarian "terryann" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Burning City (Hardcover)
i was given an advanced copy of this book and i didn't want to read it. i hate 'sports' books. i never even picked this up until after it was already in the library and cataloged and on the shelf. man was i an idiot:)

this book is great! wait, it's better than great:) the characters are amazing (and really, they make this book). every distinct, vivid, realistic, snarky, wonderful person in this story rocked.

heller meets people over and over in manhatten rather conviniently, and the story line is a little on the, shall we say, unrealistic side. however, these flaws are totally easy to overlook when the dialog happens. (besides, when was the last time i saw a movie with a realistic story line???)

absolutely unique.
