Review of Fade by Lisa McMann
For Janie and Cabel, real
life is getting tougher than the dreams. They're just trying to carve
out a little (secret) time together, but no such luck.
Disturbing
things are happening at Fieldridge High, yet nobody's talking. When
Janie taps into a classmate's violent nightmares, the case finally
breaks open -- but nothing goes as planned. Not even close. Janie's in
way over her head, and Cabe's shocking behavior has grave consequences
for them both.
Worse yet, Janie learns the truth about
herself and her ability -- and it's bleak. Seriously, brutally bleak.
Not only is her fate as a dream catcher sealed, but what's to come is
way darker than she'd feared...
Unlike Gone, the pace in this book seems a bit slower and the plot feels
dull. The writing style is the same as the last book yet it seemed to
annoy me more, whereas I enjoyed it before. This book deals with a
tougher subject - sexual predators in high school. As well as focusing
on this, it also focuses on Janie and Caleb's relationship, which is
becoming more strained as time goes on. One of the strongest characters
in this was definitely Captain Fran Komisky, who becomes a motherly
figure for Janie.
The rating goes up in this book, not the star rating though! Perverted
teachers, nudity, sex, rape (sort of), drugs, drinking, you can find it
all in here. Much swearing too. Something I do find out is the sheer
amount that students sleep. It doesn't seem probable. But there's lots
of little things that don't really add up in here. I still enjoyed the
book immensely.
4/5
