Either I've read too many of Jennifer Donnelly's books or I'm getting too old for YA. I was always way ahead of Jo and Eddie. At some points I wanted to scream at the characters and say ‘the answer is right there!!”Then I had to remind myself that Jo lived in the 1890's and was only 17 years old. I was more naive at that age too.
Even thought I figured out much of the storyline early, I still really enjoyed These Shallow Graves. There were some corny and predictable moments, but Jennifer knows how to weave twists and turns into her books. Every time i picked it up, I couldn't put it down. I loved the characters and want to read more about them. I'm secretly hoping Jennifer writes more books about Jo. I'd love to hear more about her and how her life is after These Shallow Graves. She was young and naive, but throughout the novel the reader watched her grow up. I'm hoping against hope for a sequel. PLEASE JENNIFER! I WANT MORE!!
