This sequel to Across the Universe exceeded all my expectations. It had twists and turns that surprised me when I didn't think I could be surprised. When I thought I figured out something about one person, it ended up being more about someone else. Not only did this sequel have excitement, but it had a mystery with clues to follow. And while I love being able to figure things out in a book (often before the main character), I loved that I couldn't figure it out in this one. As they deciphered the clues, they explained to me their logic which I hadn't figured out on my own. And it all made sense. And I have to give serious credit for the amount of literature referenced and used in this story. While I'm familiar with the texts used, my hope is that it will introduce young adults to those amazing works of literature that need to be read. My only wish with it would have been that The Little Prince would have appeared in more than just a reference because that book truly is a life changer. Overall, this book was gripping in all the right places and I can't wait for the final installment in January 2013. Sci-Fi was never my kind of read, but I couldn't get enough of this series.
