Why read it?

1 author picked Burned as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Ellen Hopkins is the master of novel-in-verse style writing and the true inspiration for my particular style.

She harnesses the human condition in ever-evolving characters while simultaneously displaying their choices and subsequent consequences. Her stories embody the true philosophical underpinnings that make readers question everything, and for good reason.

From Ryan's list on human choice & consequence.
