4 out of 5
This is definitely one of the most
unique books I have read. It has a dystopian
twist, but the exceptional photographs Riggs uses extremely enhances the story
and makes it a one-of-a-kind novel. Surprisingly, the photos are genuine with
only a little changing of lighting, which Riggs said took hours and lots of
people to help discover these peculiar photographs. I can't even fathom
constructing a novel based around photographs, but he does a superb job. The story itself was well written and captured
my interest; however the last third evolved into too much sci-fi, which is not
my favorite. With the pictures and the intrigue of what may happen next, I
still enjoyed it enough to give a good rating and I will be reading the sequel,
Hollow City.
