Julia Minigh

Julia Minigh shows promise. She already writes better than another children's writer I read last year, and he graduated from an MFA program. However, this story makes me want to... Well, it's depressing. And the art work doesn't help it any. Fact is, if it weren't for the fact that I work in the children's department, I wouldn't have picked up the book. The cover just doesn't look inviting.

But if you're religious and like depressing stories with happy endings, this is a book for you.
