(Uninvited by Sophie Jordan)
Personal opinion on the book:
This book was down right the most though provoking novel I have read in a very long time! Not only does this book address so many social and cultural issues, but it does it in such a way that make it interesting for a person who doesn't normally care about politics. This book left me stunned! I was in awe of Sophie Jordan's writing and this novels concept just added to the perfection of it's execution....
Literally, I must applaud Sophie Jordan. Knowing me, I am typically only interested in fantasy and YA literature and although this book was exactly that, it was not the cliche novel that was completely predictable. Right up until the very end of this book I was reeling in the way that this book was just so unanticipated and I was very impressed in the way that Sophie Jordan was able to keep Davy's innocent nature, while still showing a compassionate side and not 'babying' this character. It was great to see how the characters grew and I was very impressed by the fact that minor characters were not forgotten.
Overall, this book was just truly astounding and I was just so impressed with the well though out story line and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book due to the issues that are indirectly addressed while still keeping up the enjoyable vibe of a YA dystopian novel!

Star rating (out of 5):
This book was incredibly thought provoking and offered me the opportunity to read an amazing book while still having the chance to investigate many of the social, racial and political issues that are relevent today. Being someone who isn't the most interested in politics, this was a big change for me and I highly enjoyed reading this book. Thus, I give this book a star rating of 4/5 stars!
