Chime by Franny Billingsley

3.0

Several things about this book caught my eye: the cover, the title, and the overview. I was ready to sweep myself away into a bizarre new world, and Chime looked promising. I really wanted to love this book, as I do most of my others, but it was hard to go on. Ms. Billingsley's language is unique and definitely takes imagination and talent to create and write with, but it was hard for me to read.

The first half wasn't what I wanted or imagined, but the ending... brilliant! Getting through the confusing beginning was completely worth the twist at the end. I loved he way all loose ends were tied up and explained, and the complete story was worth the slow start.
