High School
“Take her out back
and finish her off.”
She doesn’t know who
she is. She doesn’t know where she is, or why. All she knows when she wakes up
in a ransacked cabin is that there are two men arguing over whether or not to kill
her. And that she must run.
Just
like the main character you pretty much have no idea what exactly is going on
in the first couple of chapters. But, for me, that’s what makes the book so
suspenseful.
I
think April Henry has written the most terrifying scenario ever; Waking up with
your mind blank, remembering nothing about yourself and hearing two men arguing
about whether or not to kill you. That just chills me to the bone.
This
story combines two thing that make this story even more interesting; dissociative
amnesia and biological warfare.
Dissociative amnesia occurs when a
person blocks out certain information, usually associated with a stressful or
traumatic event, leaving him or her unable to remember important personal
information. The way I see it, it’s kind of like the brain in protecting itself
by blocking the memory.
Biological warfare is the deliberate
spreading of disease amongst humans, animals, and plants, meaning making people
sick and/or die on purpose. I can’t say too much without giving away the good
parts of the story. All I can say is that biological warfare is one of the
sickest thing anyone could every do.
