This book is a great example as to why the "samples" on Kindle books can be misleading. Although some of the samples have led to the purchase of some great unknown authors, this was not one of them. I am sure the author has the potential to be great however, this book was not one that prompted me to but the rest of the series. The first chapter or two are great and you start to get a great feel for the main character and then, it's almost as if the author was in a rush to complete this book and everything goes in fast forward. There was no time for character building or a fluid, comprehensive plot. You almost get the feeling that the author started out the first few chapters with all the time in the world and then something happened and the rest was a rushed mess. Really missed the mark. Was it the worse book I've ever read? No. But, I wouldn't buy it again and would only recommend reading it if you can get it for free.

I like novels in verse. I like books told from multiple perspectives. But I don't tend to like books in verse told from multiple perspectives. I find that the free verse doesn't lend itself to establishing different voices for the characters. And that's my major complaint with this book. I found the different stories to be interesting and the historical information at the end to fulfill my requirements--there is a timeline, information on whether characters are real people, modeled after real people, or completely fictional, and resources for further reading on the subject. I picked this book because I knew it was set around the Johnstown flood, and my best friend from college is origianlly from Johnstown. The high society aspects were frustrating, as they always tend to be for me, just because I can't understand disowning a child who "disgraces" the family. But overall, it was a good story with an interesting historical backdrop. Reading Scavenger Hunt: river, though it could also work for disease
