Reviews for Burned

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Pros: Short chapters, fast pace, decent vocabularyCons: Characters are not very well developed, plot is full of holes and is not entirely believable
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Decent book, not something I would read again but I don't regret reading it. However the plot of the book plays very close to a movie. Which was a bummer. However it was very well written and worth a one time read.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This young-adult novel is told by Josie, a teenage girl who is living on the streets after her family has been murdered and her house burned down. She lives to get revenge on the corrupt cop who destroyed her life. The characters are not particularly well-developed, and there are too many coincidences to be really believable, but the novel might be appealing to teens, particularly reluctant readers. This novel is part of the Retribution Trilogy, which also includes Unleashed and Exposed.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I was able to read this book in 5 days. Well told story, with the right amount of suspense. Would recommend this book as a good read. Given the age of the main character, would suggest it's more of a teen novel. The author seems to have done her research, to give you some idea, of what it is like for a young person, to live on the street. The story is about revenge, for her family, who were murdered. Proving who did it, without the police, because she doesn't trust them.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Part of a trilogy that can be read in any order. I enjoyed this book. It was another quick and easy read. This is a book you can finish in a day. Well written for the length of the book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is fast paced and perfect for kids looking for a little action on a small scale. No inappropriate situations. Just a girl trying to get her family's killer to pay for her crime. Or should I say, crimeS.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Burned is part of retribution trilogy. The best thing is that these books can be read in any order.Burned is about Josie who has a vendetta against a cop who murdered her family. She becomes homeless, dresses, and acts like a boy to stay undetected. For two years plans on a way to bring the cop down. Does she?A good read from start to finish. Teens as well as adults will enjoy this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was a fast paced very readable story of one girl's search for retribution. The work is targeted to early teen readers and the main story was interesting and moved quickly. Each of the characters was intriguing and had interesting back stories. While I enjoyed the resolution of the main story, the final chapters of the book are confusing and do not flow well with the rest of the story. My sense was that the structure was meant to tell you more about the secondary characters as a way to set up the story for the 2nd and 3rd books in this trilogy. However, I found that this distracted from the book as a whole. Despite this, I enjoyed the story.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked this book in the sense that it would be great/attractive for some of my reluctant readers. I don't feel it's an incredibly well-developed story. The first person narration works and the back story of her family dying in a fire is very intriguing. The character development of the antagonist/cop merely skims the surface and the ending and transition into the next book is quite rushed.
