Review: Bleeding Violet is an interesting book. If anybody asked me what it was about I would have a hard time describing it. Thank goodness for library summaries. Anyway, I read a few reviews of Bleeding Violet and most of them described it as weird. I agree with this statement because Bleeding Violet is weird in the sense that it is quite different to anything else I've ever read.
I thought Hanna was quite an unusual character. While I know she was a manic-depressive I thought her personality was really forward and hugely outgoing which is pretty much the opposite of myself and so I found her hard to relate to. But she was an interesting character nonetheless.
I thought the story line was quite interesting. The town was an interesting place. So many different monsters waiting in the most innocent of places. Like milk.
I found my interest in the story to be up and down. There were some really slow parts and it was hard to get into the story then, but then there were some really really interesting parts.
The ending was a bit disappointing. My one question is, is this a stand-alone novel or will there be a sequel? There were so many unanswered questions.
Overall, Bleeding Violet was pretty interesting. There were some really interesting parts. I just wish it explained a bit more.
