Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly

This book has been absolultely amazing. After reading the Hunger Games I thought that I would never find another book or group of books that would hold my attention and keep my interest. Revolution has been an eye-opener. The book is told through the eyes of Andi, a senior in high school, who lives with her psycho mother. andi's life turned upside down when her brother died. The book is about her life after the death in her family. Her father was gone most of the time due to his job but the stroy started to roll when he came back to take andi away to Paris and get her life back on track. Throughout her journey she was very sarcastic about life. Revolution is filled with great quotes that are harsh yet very relevant to this century. I decided to blog about all the interesting quotes I found. Hopefully you like this! :)

I am running out of time. Tommorrow I will list and explain all the exciting quotes :)
