Reviewed by Karma Barry (age 13) for Reader Views (12/07)


J.M. Warwick has an interesting writing style that will catch most reader's attention. Both logical and strange, “An Open Vein” is suspenseful to a point and almost sweet in a new sense of the word. “An Open Vein” would be best suited for the very late teens, about 17 and up, and further into adults for some of the content.

As far as I am aware I cannot relate to most of the story and hope that others can say so. All in all, this was an excellent read that taught me about bonding beyond the initial years in childhood and at some point in the future, when I am older and can understand more, I will read this book again.

I would personally suggest that the content, though not sexual, should be toned down for future publications for the teen audience. However, if there were less common words then this book could make a short adult read.

Despite some of the things that I found “strange,” “An Open Vein” will be one of the books that I will carry through every move and replace when necessary for spine damage!
