Wither (Chemical Garden)

Wither (Chemical Garden) - Lauren DeStefano Wow.That about sums it up doesn't it? This book was amazing... yet utterly horrifying. I swear, I held my breath for the entire 358 pages (ha! And I didn't pass out... that should so be some sort of record right?) Fine! I felt like I held my breath the entire time!Lauren DeStefano created a dystopian nightmare, in the form of a beautifully written novel. Can you imagine being stolen, forced to marry and then BREED? *shudder*Rhine continuously broke my heart with the stories of her youth, then having her horrifyingly short 'adult' life stolen from her... and not only by her sadistic father-in-law, but by a horrendous genetic disease that causes you to die at 20!I couldn't help but feel sorry for Linden... in all his ignorance, but I'm Team Gabriel ALL THE WAY.I cannot wait for the second installment of The Chemical Garden Trilogy... Where do Rhine & Gabriel go? Does Rhine find her brother? What kind of state will he be in IF she finds him? Will her and Gabriel get to be together?I have this really foreboding feeling that something bad is going to happen to Gabriel...
