War...What is it good for?




AUTHOR: Scott, Elizabeth
TITLE: Grace


This dystopian novel explores the ideas or religious zealotry, while putting a human face on both sides. Grace was given away by her father to the Angels to be trained for one goal, to become a suicide bomber and take out an important person in the government. Unable to give her life for something she does not believe in, she flees aboard a train, only to discover that the person she is traveling with is one of the most dangerous men in the country. As they travel close to the border, Grace learns more about the man she is traveling with and how they share more in common than either had thought possible.

Scott does an exceptionable job at portraying the sheer dedication of suicide bombers and idea that people that are so vastly different can share things in common.
