Frozen by Robin Wasserman

3.0

Hey guys, so I just finished Frozen( AND NO, before you get any images of singing, dancing snowmen, it is absolutely, totally, completely NOT related to the movie whatsoever) by Robin Wasserman. I must say, it was, perhaps different that what I was expecting, but not entirely bad. Some parts definitely nabbed my interest, while others just kinda faded into the background. At first, I was confused with the storyline, flipping back and fourth between past and present. However, once things settled down, I just rolled with it. Basically, this novel depicts how a teenage girl ends up in some tragic car accident(which by the way, she wasnt even suppose to be in the vehicle), dies, then is reborn- remade- brain copied-whatever, in to, in relaxed terms, a robot. Obviously, a more sophisticated machine that was designed as close to human framework as possible. Except for the fact that the "new body" didnt have a heart, or lungs, or a stomach, or, well you get the idea. Incidentally, the kicker is, the company wanted Lia to pretend that she was normal. HA! That was practically impossible. Sadly, she found that out the hard way. Indeed, this society is so cruel. I don't remember the last time I was so disgusted by what was occurring in a book that made me want to shove those characters in the darkness pits of hell for how they were treating the main character. Like seriously, how dare her so called friends, how dare her sister *mutes myself from spoiling* while she was trying to freaking survive, thrive, assimilate back into her "life". Luckily, she found someone who didnt mind her being the way she was, but *sighs* life truly isnt fair. Anyway, the first half of the novel had some high points, some low points, but the second half, whew, that's where things started getting real intense. Poof, then it was over. Just like that. Due to the fact that I have so many books to read, i'm not sure whether ill read the other books in the Cold Awakening series (Shattered #2, Torn #3). All in the all, the novel was pretty good and I know that it had some deeper truths mixed within the text, but i simply dont have the time to ponder it for pleasure. If you guys want some quotes regarding that, Ill be happy to post them for ya.
