This week, I read a book called Need. Basically, it was about a girl named Zara whose stepfather had just died. She becomes depressed, so her mother sends her to live with her stepfathers mom in Maine. She is stalk by pixies(?????), who turn out to be related to her. in the end she captures them all in a large circle made of iron.

I believe that this book was really bad. The Zara is described as strong, and yet when her stepdad dies, she no longer wants to do anything. Also, the back of this book was totally irrelevant. It made the book sound like a ghost story, when it wasn't. Besides this, the main character is totally hypocritical. It turns out that her boyfriend is a werewolf(??????), so she kisses him, says its alright, and then has a freak out and starts sobbing when she finds out that her grandmother is too. Also, she is pretty mean throughout the book. She continues to yell or cry, no matter how it will make those around her feel. Finally, I think that the character was either suicidal or just dumb. She wants to see who is stalking her, so she goes out in the forest by herself at night. If you know you are being followed by something you think is dangerous, then why would you WANT them to find you.
