Although having an interesting cover , and promising summary Pure falls short of all expectations. This book has no head or feet. It seems like somebody just rambled on and on about a dystopian world where boys have birds on their back, and girls are either fused with children or have dolls for hands.
The first 100 pages are a struggle to get by so if you don't mind a VERY slow start then start reading!
One thing that I did like about this book was the sinister descriptions of the characters fusions. Julianna describes that the survivers of the detonations where in one way or another connected to an ordinary, or living creature/ object around them. the thing that I liked about this was the cruel reality of it. She did not spare any gory details about the appearance of the people and their gruesome fates, and that is something that you don't see often in literature.
The relationships between the characters seemed kinda forced and not real although you could tell that the author really wanted us to believe that so and so fell in love and that so and so developed a friendship, but it all seemed plastic. One of the main character relationships I had trouble accepting was that of Patridge and Lyda. It was too much insta love for my taste. One second he is using her so that he can escape form the dome and the next he is thinking that he can never let her go. i don't get it.
Although the writing was very poetic and in a gruesome way beautiful, Pure is a book to be read when you are not afraid to be bored.
