twistedblonde's review against another edition
5.0
The literacy scene if filled right now with pale imitations. Take a walk around the Fantasy, Science Fiction, Romance - even teen books and you will be assaulted with a menagerie of werewolves, vampires and a wide variety of corrupt governments.
Which is all well and good, but a book is only as good as the story inside, the characters and the emotions all of the above express.
It's hard to feel that passion about a book when it's all been done before.
Which is why The Rite is such a rare gem! The book is a Supernatural thriller, but it takes the genre and flips it on its head. These are not your typical undead.
The main character is Maggie, a 13 year old girl who is a bit of a loner and book worm. (Who doesn't feel like a little bit of a freak when they are 13 years old?) She has a bit of a crush on a boy in her grade named Jason, but he doesn't really notice her.
At first glance, it seems like your typically teenage story.
Of course, that all changes when the adventure starts.
At its heart, The Rite is a coming of age story. Filled with twists, turns, some pretty awesome characterizations and a family of terrifying villains. From the soft opening to the gripping conclusion - there is nothing 'typical' about this book.
The best part is, it is original! It's incredibly refreshing to read a story that hasn't been done before.
If you're looking for an original, epic story to lose yourself into for a few days - read this.
You won't be disappointed.
