"When Your Life is Not Your Own"
Author - Jill Williamson
Publisher - Zondervan
Age Group - 16 and up
Content - Boys make some cat calls. Martyr is so sweet and innocent and defends those that need protection and is very giving of himself. Abby is determined to help those less fortunate and bring others to God.
Personal Opinion - WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Sorry that was so teeny-bopper (and I'm not that age anymore :) ) but this book was amazing! The twists and turns and the growing of Martyr and Abby was wonderful. I really got into the story. They fought for what they believed in and Martyr grew so much. He was also so cute as he learned about different things like bleeding eggs (I know that doesn't make sense but it does if you read the book). This is a must read for any reader. I know there might be some who are skeptical because it deals with the cloning debate and the what-if a human was successfully cloned but it actually handles the issue well and is so good. I can only emphasise this so much. READ THIS BOOK!

ReplyDeleteI just love that picture! *big grin* A for real and for true book worm. Looooove it!
Oh, and I want to echo that WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW! :)
I loved Martyr's protective instincts. SO sweet the way he stood up for the underdogs!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat review!
I have been eagerly eyeing this book since Amazon sent me an email announcing its release. (The only advertising email I'm actually glad to get) I've been waiting to buy it until the perfect moment- sometime when I want a book I know will be good. I would love to win a free copy!
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree! This book was great! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill, that was just one of many favorite parts.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, no problem and thanks for stopping by mine. Martyr is really cool (one of the best).
Rachelle Rea, no problem about the contest and thanks for eachoing the Wow :). Yeah, the worm idea was with me from the beginning of the idea of starting a blog so, even though it seemed a little silly when I started, I had to do it.
Katie, thank you for the compliment and I liked how Martyr stood up for those who couldn't. Just one of many fine qualities that need to be in more men (no offence to any guy reading this).
Megan, I'm glad you are excited to read the book. I first fell in love with Jill's writing when I read her By Darkness Hid book and just had to get the rest (went insain for a little while because of it). I will make sure to add your name to the hat (when I find one).
Christian, thanks for stopping and leaving a comment. I loved the book too and your review was great as well.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and I will reveal the winner on Fedruary 5, 2013.
(just kidding. Fedruary 5, 2012 :))
